Grown exclusively from the Pisoni Family's Pisoni, Garys', and Soberanes vineyards, the Lucia appellation-based wines are a wonderful representation of their estate vineyards, of which each block is cultivated to the same high standards. These wines offer excellent value, and Jeb Dunnuck has previously described these AVA blends as "a perfect example of the incredible quality that's consistently coming from this estate."
A stunning melange of three truly unique vineyard sites (60% Pisoni, 23% Garys', and 17% Soberanes), this wine offers up enticing aromas of strawberry compote, juicy cranberry, sandalwood, and black tea leaves, all contained within the embrace of its deep ruby hue. Layers of black cherry, Mission fig, spiced plum, and berry crumble provide a stepping stone for more subtle hints of fresh sage, clove, and vanilla bean to make their voices heard. A true snapshot of these wind-swept vines, this Pinot Noir finishes with vibrant acidity and a distinct, yet noticeably approachable structure. Don't be surprised to see this wine continuing to amaze for years to come.
JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "A wider-sourced wine combining 50% Pisoni Vineyard grapes with others from Garys’, Soberanes, and WindRock, the 2024 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvee is a barrel-selection aged over 11 months in 45% new oak, native-fermented with no racking, fining, or filtration, 25% whole-cluster. Textural, it’s a tight, focused wine of rich dark cherry and spice, medium-bodied in weight, with well-integrated tannins and oak. Drink now through 2034."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 92+ POINTS - "The 2024 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée leads the charge with brightness and tension before delving into a densely packed, mouthful of a wine. New leather, savory herbs, crunchy blueberry fruit, mocha and purple-toned flowers open hesitantly, clamping down on a driven, linear finish. This is definitely a wine for the cellar; it’s only just beginning to release some of its inner tension."
