Simply gorgeous (!) this winner launches for with flashy, succulent, and satisfying red fruit making it one of the most awe-inspiring Pinot Noir of 2018 or any other vintage for that matter. Paul Lato is a true master of balance and finesse, with ripe cherry and raspberry perfectly balanced by savory baking spices and subtle hints of creamy vanilla on the finish. A sense of fresh fruit plus acidity and oh-so silky tannins make this a dreamy Pinot already impossible to resist now (decanting recommended prior to 2024) through 2028!

AUTHENTICITY, HARMONY, & ELEGANCE
In order to make wines of the highest caliber, I select unique vineyards that are cared for by talented vineyard managers committed to excellence. I strive to locate and source from not only the best vineyards but the best blocks within each of these vineyards. During the growing season, yields are restricted to achieve maximum concentration of flavor. Harvest is based on physiological ripeness, which changes depending on the vintage characteristics.

Cellar work is based on minimal intervention, cleanliness and purity of intention. Because every vintage is different, I do not believe in recipes. With due respect to science, I do believe that true artisanal winemaking is based on intuition, sensitivity and passion. Keeping the lots small allows for gentle handling throughout the winemaking process.

KEEP YOUR PALATE INTERESTED UNTIL THE LAST DROP
I want my wines to give pleasure and keep your palate interested until the last drop from the bottle – I hope you like them at first sip and love them at the last. (Source: Paul Lato Wines website)
