Lucia by Pisoni Pinot Noir Estate Cuvee, Pisoni
Description
The Lucia Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée represents the synergy that develops when three estate-farmed vineyards are blended and bottled as a singular wine. The 2022 vintage is comprised of 70% Pisoni Vineyards, 14% Garys’ Vineyard, and 16% Soberanes Vineyard. As the wine’s medium-ruby hue fills the glass, aromas of crushed strawberry, spiced plum, and underlaying hints of dark berry develop. The Pinot Noir transitions to the palate and shows savory notes of Asian spice, black tea, then gains volume with notes of plush red berries and subtle vanilla—from eleven months of aging in 45% new French oak barrels. The heavy morning fog and bracing coastal winds of the mountainous Santa Lucia Highlands keep this wine fresh and provide acidity that reawakens the palate after each sip. The finish shows youthful and layered, yet distinctly approachable tannin.

Producer Details
Gary Pisoni and his sons are triply blessed: with one of California’s great vineyard sites, with an obsessive attention to detail, and with the good taste to know when to leave well alone and let the grapes do the talking. Specialising in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in Monterey County’s Santa Lucia Highlands, they bottle a single Pinot Noir under their estate label, the rest of the fruit finding its way into their second label, Lucia. Both offer arrestingly pure, focused, evocative wines.
