Paul Lato Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2021
Located in the heart of the Santa Maria Valley, these low-yielding vines grow on a sandy plateau with great drainage. The vines are entirely own-rooted. Now over 28 years old, the vines uniquely originated from a Martini selection from Burgundy. The Pinot Noir consequently is highly perfumed, of silky delicacy and fine texture. My interpretation of this vineyard focuses on lightness and charm, beauty and elegance, highlighting strawberry notes with a slight earthy “nori-like” quality.

This appellation cuvée offers a slightly more affordable means of trying Paul Lato’s epic Pinot Noirs, which expertly balance ripe power with stunning nuance. This wine offers cranberry, cherry, turned earth and crumpled chaparral on the nose. The palate carries that line of chaparral through bright raspberry and woodspice flavors.
