Reviewed January 2023This bottling is both lush and bright at once, starting with aromas of crisp cherry compote, fresh raspberry, mace and elegant French-toast spices. Sprightly energy dances across the palate, where juicy dark-red-fruit flavors are
lifted by lavender, carnation and rose petal. (MK)

A whopping 60% of the fruit that goes into the Lucia “Estate Cuvee” Pinot Noir comes from the Pisoni Estate, with the rest coming from Gary’s and Soberanes vineyards. The wine is rounded but well-structured with aromas of strawberry compote, black cherry, black plum, clove, and sandalwood leaping from the glass. Fuller bodied by Pinot Noir standards, but beautifully elegant and well balanced with flavors cranberry, fig, black cherry, black plum, clove, vanilla, sage, and lavender rolling over the palate in waves. This is wine that is approachable now but should develop wonderfully over the next 5-10 years.
