2019 Lucia Soberanes Vineyard Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands

JD96 The 2019 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is also terrific, with lots of spice red and black fruits, spring flowers, and chalky minerality. It’s beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and just about seamless on the palate, and while it brings loads of fruit and texture, it stays beautifully balanced and elegant. It’s already impossible to resist yet should cruise for 7-8 years in cold cellars. I’d certainly be thrilled with a bottle on the dinner table.
