Air carrier pilot flying reported receiving a low altitude alert from ATC while coupled and on profile for the Raceway Visual Approach to Runway 28L at MRY; in the vicinity of CHRLE waypoint. Reporter recommended raising the at or above altitude at CHRLE to prevent future occurrences.

Narrative

Flew the Raceway Visual (RNAV-F) Runway 28L. Autopilot was coupled; final approach was captured; and Runway 28L was visually acquired. The approach glidepath brings you in super close to terrain; but we were coupled up and on profile. We didn't get any GPWS alerts; but ATC told us they got a terrain warning so we kicked off the autopilot; leveled off; and accelerated momentarily. Truthfully; the approach seemed uncomfortably low and I was about to turn the autopilot off anyway. After leveling off for a moment; we had to steepen the descent slightly to get back on profile. Stable below 1000 feet and 500 feet but rolling terrain made it seem otherwise as far as the RA was concerned a little further out on the approach. Nothing in the company pages mentioning any of those possible issues; as far as I could find. Double and triple-checked our altimeter settings and even double-checked ATIS to make sure we heard correctly. Mostly uneventful; but jarring to receive a terrain call from ATC when coupled and on profile on a company approved approach. Cause: Would recommend increasing the at or above altitude of 6100 at CHRLE as the terrain issue was momentary and approximately 5 miles past CHRLE. Perhaps a note in the company pages for pilot awareness prior to flying this approach; mentioning how low it brings you in. Or just stick with the RNAV (GPS).
