2022 Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir
We feel humbled and grateful to continue to receive such positive response from wine critics on our 2022 Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir– this time in the form of highly-regarded wine publication, Vinous. In this year’s review, wine critic for Vinous, Billy Noris, writes “. . . you can easily feel the pedigree of this site and the careful winemaking here.” This sentiment perfectly honors Gary’s vision as he ventured into the Santa Lucia Highlands to plant his mountain vineyard. At a time when most others scoffed at the possibility of growing world-class wine in this region, he knew it could be done. It is a fitting honor to have it recognized as such.

The 2022 Pinot Noir is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar. Yields were down as much as 50% across the ranch, but that imbued the 2022 with even more depth and weight than usual. Sweet black licorice, crushed rocks and macerated cherry/berry fruit settle in, lifted by fresh, citrus-like acidity. The Pisoni seems to propel itself through the mouth, somehow striking a balance between soft, caressing textures and unmistakable brawn. As a wine of complexity, class, and refinement, you can easily feel the pedigree of this site and the careful winemaking here.
