    The 2019 Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard is the more mineral-driven wine of the lineup and has a brilliant, lifted nose of wild strawberries, white flowers, orange blossom, and crushed stone. Beautiful on the palate, this medium to full-bodied 2019 has a solid spine of acidity, notable tannins, and flawless balance. It offers incredible pleasure today yet will be at its best in 6-12 months and have a decade of longevity.

Pinot Noir grapes exhibit a distinct elegance. Their thin skins and tightly clustered berries make them susceptible to disease and challenging to cultivate. However, the rewards of this persnickety grape are extraordinary. Pinot Noir wines possess a remarkable flavor profile, often described as silky, with vibrant acidity, delicate tannins, and an array of aromas. Expect to encounter red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, accompanied by earthy undertones, floral hints, and sometimes a touch of spice. Renowned regions such as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley in Oregon, and California's Sonoma County have become synonymous with exceptional Pinot Noir production. Each region brings its own terroir and climate, contributing to the wine's character. Burgundy, for instance,... Read More
