Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby-red. Highly perfumed mineral-accented red and dark berry cola and incense aromas show a sexy floral overtone. Sappy seamless and penetrating on the palate offering intense black raspberry cherry cola and allspice flavors that deepen slowly on the back half. Plays power off finesse with a sure hand and finishes impressively long and sweet with harmonious tannins coming in slowly.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard sports a darker ruby color as well as broad, expansive aromas and flavors of black cherries, red currants, spice and sous bois. This medium to full-bodied, earthy, beautifully concentrated effort has a touch of Côte de Nuits-like character and will drink beautifully for 7-8 years. The Lucia wines are made by the Pisoni Family and focus on the non Pisoni Vineyard releases. As normal, these are impeccably made and terrific wines.
