Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir '21

This benchmark Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir shimmers with translucent ruby hues and an ethereal nose of wild strawberry, rose petal, and forest floor. Whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak barrels lend subtle structure without compromising aerial elegance - flavors of red cherry, blood orange zest, and baking spice earned 96 points. The haunting floral finish lingers with crushed stone minerality, making it an exceptional pairing for roasted squab or wild mushroom tart.
