2017 Paul Lato Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands

(97+  Points) From a site located in the southern part of the Santa Lucia Highlands consisting of broken granite soils, the 2017 Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard was all destemmed and spent 15 months in 70% new French oak. Ripe raspberries, strawberries, rose petals, sappy herbs, and crushed rock-like minerality all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full body, bright, integrated acidity, building tannins, and a great, great finish. Despite seeming to be the most seamless and elegant texturally, it has a wealth of building tannins, good acidity, and a tight, powerful, lengthy style that begs for another year or two in bottle.  Jeb Dunnuck - jebdunnuck.com
