2023 Paul Lato Pinot Noir “Lancelot”, Pisoni Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 98+ Points
Pisoni is among the most powerful and age worthy of California’s Pinot Noir vineyards yet 2023 has brought forth a rarely seen elegance. The nose betrays the wine’s structure and obvious youth, yet its focused aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, cranberry sauce, peppercorn, chalky minerality and toasted rosemary seem at once heady rich and, surprisingly, texturally delicate.
