Country: US / Pisoni Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Patz & Hall / Santa Lucia Highlands
Showing an enormous blast of cherries and raspberries, this Pinot is saved from being a fruit bomb by earthy, mushroomy complexities and a hit of acidity that makes the mouth water. It’s way too young now, and should easily take 5–7 years in the cellar to come around.
