2019 Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir | Santa Lucia Highlands Monterey County California 1.5L Magnum

Another beautiful vintage for this cuvee, the 2019 Pinot Noir shows a more elegant, pure, classic style than some previous years, which were slightly richer and more bombastic. The 2019 reveals a medium ruby/purple hue (it's semi-opaque) to go with a gorgeous nose of ripe cherries, raspberries, and blueberries, followed by classic Pisoni minerality, brambly herbs, violets, and forest floor. As always, this site imparts an incredible sense of rocky, mineral-like nuances, and there's a liqueur of rock-like sensation on the finish... | 97 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
