Mattinson review of Pisoni Lucy Pico Blanco 2023.

Pisoni Lucy Pico Blanco 2023
14.1% alcohol, cork, Monterey County USA (Santa Lucia Highlands and Arroyo Seco).

This was tasted on the Mattinson in California trail.

This wine was my introduction to the wines of Pisoni. From the first sip it was clear that we have a special producer here. It’s grown on two sites in Monterey County (USA) and it’s a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. It’s fruity, floral, herbal and saline at once, the latter aspect the conduit to texture. The effect is quite something. There’s a poise to this wine. Both its flavour volume and flavour profile are so harmoniously served. I put my glass down and thought, What a lovely wine. 94 points.
