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

Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points (2019): ”The 2019 Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard is the more mineral-driven wine of the lineup and has a brilliant, lifted nose of wild strawberries, white flowers, orange blossom, and crushed stone. Beautiful on the palate, this medium to full-bodied 2019 has a solid spine of acidity, notable tannins, and flawless balance. It offers incredible pleasure today yet will be at its best in 6-12 months and have a decade of longevity.”

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.”
