Paul Lato remains one of California’s master craftsman of balance and finesse with Pinot Noir (and Chardonnay), with ripe strawberry and fresh raspberry tart perfectly balanced by savory baking spices and subtle hints of creamy vanilla on the finish. A sense of fresh fruit plus velvety smooth tannins make this an alluring Pinot already impossible to resist now (decanting recommended prior to 2024) through 2029+.
