2022 Pisoni Pinot Noir Pisoni Vinetyard Santa Lucia Highlands
Wine Advocate 92 Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Pisoni opens with a characteristically black-fruited nose supplemented by amaro and toasty oak aromas, introducing a dense, fleshy palate brimming with an extremely ripe core of compacted fruits. The finish is immensely saturated, framed with assertive tannins and a final dose of expansive fruit flavors that linger. While thoughtfully crafted, this is one of the more opulent Pinot Noirs in a region that produces no shortage of them, and to my palate, it goes beyond what one should rightly expect from a balanced expression of the varietal.
