{"product_id":"2023-lucia-pinot-noir-estate-cuvee","title":"2023 Lucia by Pisoni Pinot Noir Estate Cuvee Santa Lucia Highlands","description":"\u003cp\u003e95 Decanter - The Estate Pinot Lucia by Pisoni is a blend of fruit from the 15.8-hectare Pisoni Estate, nestled against the Santa Lucia mountain range, and Soberanes Vineyard, a 15.4-hectare, seaward-facing alluvial terrace that slopes five degrees toward the valley floor. The wine is fermented with native yeasts (18% whole cluster) in 40% new French oak and aged for up to 11 months. It’s a bold, juicy red, with dark, concentrated cherry fruit and sandalwood that shows real staying power on the mid-palate. Notes of dark mahogany wood, a touch of cocoa powder, and apple-skin tannins build toward an intense, dark-fruited finish, carried by blood orange and red plum and crafted by winemaker Jeff Pisoni.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95 Vinous - The 2023 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée is a beautiful, super-finessed wine. This year marks the first inclusion of fruit from the newest vineyard in the Pisoni\/Franscioni portfolio—WindRock—which joins the typical lineup of Pisoni, Garys’ and Soberanes. The 2023 is a model of elegance. Floral-inflected notes of blood orange, lavender and sweet spices build in a broad yet focused, supple, velvety Pinot Noir. The finish lasts long beyond each sip. Everything here speaks to refinement, polish and poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e93 Jeb Dunnuck - Red and black fruits, spice, and dried flowers emerge from the 2023 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée. Medium-bodied and supple, it offers a layered mouthfeel and a round, charming, satisfying style that's absolutely delicious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MONTEREY BAY WINE CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47322145489202,"sku":"50000000008222","price":49.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/2023LuciaPinotNoirEstateCuvee.png?v=1775144886","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2023-lucia-pinot-noir-estate-cuvee","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
