  Wow is this drinking well. Smooth finish throughout. All resolved. Nice cherry bite. Powdery coating feel. Lively fruit. Just lovely. It has years left in it. This stored at 53 degrees since inception.

  so many memories on this one and great expression of California pinot noir from the monterrey region. Last of 6 bottles (sic ..) smokey, full of black cherries and forest floor. Juicy yet complex and with very good length. Went super well with oven roasted ribs of Iberico pig from Extremadura. Will buy more next time I am on the West Coast, hard to find but really worth it

  Opened and poured a small taste for this initial impression. Graphite and pine aromas, with a creamy, red fruited texture that carries some new oak (or the imprint of wood) through to the finish. Where I really get attracted to this wine is the acidity, the pine needle and citrus that sits in the core of the wine to help buttress the fruit. Finishes with some crushed red fruit (like a strawberry/cranberry skin) and good lift. The temp on this taste was a little warm for me and so with air and some chill, will retry later this evening over dinner....the wine showed well with dinner, much like my note from October 2014. There is some mocha here still present, the ripeness emerged yet the spine of SLH acidity is nicely present. This wine feel pretty atypical for the vintage and does a fine job of staying true to the house style, with the flare of Pisoni. Fine to drink these now as I thought it showed well.

  This was a much more impressive Lucia than some of the other estates (S.L, Garys's, etc). Dark notes of Eucalyptus, pine, blueberry. Tannins are solid with some grip, medium-long finish. This almost felt like one of the Estate wines from Pisoni.
