Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands, California, USA 2012

Description

Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir 2012 is an iconic, estate-grown Pinot Noir from the legendary Pisoni Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Crafted exclusively from hand-farmed estate fruit, this highly acclaimed vintage showcases the concentration and elegance that have made Pisoni one of California's benchmark Pinot Noir producers. The wine opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, blackberry, rose petals, baking spices, forest floor, cedar, and hints of cola and vanilla. The palate is rich and silky, offering layers of ripe red and dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional balance. A long, complex finish reveals notes of spice, earth, and minerality. While drinking beautifully now, this cellar-worthy Pinot Noir will continue to gain complexity with additional bottle age.
