94 WA. "Yet another striking wine, the 2010 Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard boasts an intense center of minerality to back up the exuberant Pinot fruit. The balance and overall sense of harmony are gorgeous. There is wonderful push and pull between the opulence of the fruit from this well-known site in the Santa Lucia Highlands and the wine's underlying tension. I especially like the pure, unbridled energy in the glass. Layers of fruit flow effortlessly to the rich, exuberant finish. This is a compelling wine from Paul Lato . . . . Paul Lato's wines are imbued with passion and personality. This is another superb set of wines from one of California's hottest under-the-radar producers." Wine Advocate #202, Aug 2012 |
