Paul Lato 2021 “Lancelot” Pinot Noir, Pisoni Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands 98 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 98 Points: ”I always find an incredible sense of minerality from this site, and the 2021 Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard has bright red fruits, white flowers, crushed stone, and violet-like aromas and flavors. Rich, medium to full-bodied, tight, and structured, it’s flawlessly balanced and has a great finish. Hide bottles for 2-3 years and enjoy through 2033.”

Paul  Lato Notes: “Aromas of cherry and boysenberry, along with hints of crushed stone and lavender jump out of the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep, and concentrated, with a viscous core of dark fruit, youthful yet polished tannins, and a long sapid finish.  Enjoy the robust fruit now, or watch it age gracefully for many years to come.”
