The Lucia 2018 Vintage:
Journey Through the Santa Lucia Highlands
Every year at Pisoni, we honor the rugged, windswept slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands where Gary first began planting grapes in 1982. Lucia wines represent the exploration we do through winemaking and farming in this beautiful region.

The higher elevations of Pisoni Vineyards add rich notes of baked apple, Bosc pear, and lemon curd, while the rocky, unyielding soil of the Soberanes Vineyard showcases signature notes of citrus blossom and wet stone.

Notes of crushed rock and flint are present, but as the minutes pass, the wine truly begins to express itself as ripe pear, red apple, and citrus blossom fill the glass.
