Pisoni Lucia Estate Cuvée Pinot Noir 2022

Written By Campbell Mattinson

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

This was tasted on the Mattinson in California trail.

This was grown on the Pisoni Vineyard, Gary’s Vineyard and Soberanes Vineyard. It shows intense spice, noteworthy mineral, sage notes, some reductive infuences, black tea characters and a significant drive of dark cherry, the latter adding real bass to the wine’s general world of treble . Quartz like tannin adds more gravitas, as do meaty, smoky, charcuterie characters. What we have here is an imposing wine, with a future. 94 points.
