Country: US / Pisoni Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Patz & Hall / Santa Lucia Highlands
A strong, extracted Pinot, lacking delicacy and finesse. It’s enormous in jammy raspberries, cherries and liqueur, with plenty of sweet, toasty oak. High alcohol gives it a full body and a taste of glyceriney sweetness. Many will like its power and flash. Drink it over the next few years.
