Mattinson review of Pisoni Lucia Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022.

Pisoni Lucia Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022
14.1% alcohol, cork, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterey County USA.

This is a dramatic pinot noir. It’s a wine of great intensity, tannin and presence; from the first sip I was both taken aback and spellbound. It’s a wine with features of chicory, mineral, sweet toast, dark cherry, wet rocks, peppercorn and rose petals. It’s a wine that is both powerful and varietal. It’s finished by firm, rocky, near-granitic tannin; the latter being the perfect conclusion to the story of the fruit. 96 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
