🏰 The 2021 Paul Lato Seabiscuit Zotovich Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from a 【banner year for California Pinot Noir, producing fresh, vibrant, yet concentrated wines with purity and charm, promising longevity】. Paul Lato is renowned for his small-lot production, focusing on highlighting the purity of the fruit. It has a lighter ruby-hued or pale ruby-purple color. The nose is bursting with cranberry and blackberry preserves, blood orange, pipe tobacco, iron, wild strawberries, raspberries, rose petals, baking spices, loamy soil notes, lavender oil, and spearmint. The palate is medium-bodied, layered, and incredibly elegant, with a pure, finely chalky or satiny texture, fireworks of fresh acidity, and a long finish streaked with dark spices or a minty lift. 🍴 This sophisticated Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, and wild mushroom risotto. It's also excellent with other poultry, pork tenderloin, or lighter game dishes. 🥂 A sophisticated choice for a gourmet dinner, a special occasion, or a tasting focused on high-quality California Pinot Noir.
