Introducing the exceptional 2021 Pisoni Pinot Noir Estate, a masterpiece hailing from the esteemed Santa Lucia Highlands in California's Central Coast. This captivating red wine is a testament to the impeccable craftsmanship of the renowned producer, Pisoni.

In the glass, this Pinot Noir showcases a striking ruby hue that shimmers with elegance. Its appearance alone hints at the depth and complexity that awaits the discerning palate. On the nose, the aromatics are nothing short of breathtaking. A symphony of scents fills the air, with notes of luscious cassis, darker raspberries, and a touch of spicy oak that intertwine harmoniously. As you delve deeper, a subtle hint of graphite and crushed stone adds a layer of intrigue and sophistication.

Upon tasting, the 2021 Pisoni Pinot Noir reveals its true magnificence. Full-bodied and opulent, it coats the palate with a richness that is both luxurious and inviting. The wine's impeccable structure is evident, with a stacked mid-palate that showcases its depth and complexity. Building tannins lend a firm yet velvety texture, caressing the senses with each sip. The finish is nothing short of exceptional, leaving a lasting impression that lingers on the palate.

This age-worthy beauty is a true gem that demands patience and respect. While it is already a remarkable wine, it will only continue to evolve and reveal its full potential with time. Cellaring for 2-3 years will allow the structure and tannins to integrate seamlessly, paving the way for a decade of unparalleled enjoyment.
