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.
