Paul Lato 2022 ”Suerte” Pinot Noir – Solomon Hills, Santa Maria Valley 96 Points

Paul Lato Notes: “The nose is intense, with notes of blueberry, potpourri, and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with flavors of dark fruit, red velvet, and baking spices. The tannins are fine-grained, and the finish is long and satisfying. “

Jeb Dunnuck 96 Points: “Ripe black cherries, leafy underbrush, iron, black raspberries, and floral nuances all shine in the 2022 Pinot Noir Suerte Solomon Hills Vineyard, a rivetingly pure, medium-bodied 2022 that has fine, integrated tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a great finish. It’s layered, nuanced, and complex, with an incredible sense of purity and class. Drink bottles any time over the coming 8-10 years.”
