"The 2022 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is a rich, bombastic wine. Dark plum, chocolate, licorice and spice are all amplified in this dense, full-bodied Pinot. The 2022 is a classic Pisoni Pinot built on textural richness and body."

"From one of the warmer sites in the appellation, the 2023 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is big in style, tannin, and dark berry flavor yet well-balanced, a showcase of intensely rich, layered fruit that is accented in sage, spice, and dried herb. Winemaker Sean Capiaux has worked with Pisoni since 1998, and as such is one of the longest-standing purchasers of that fruit, and his understanding of the site is in clear view here. This will be a long-lived wine; enjoy best 2028-2038."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard is another potent wine in this range. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, white pepper and orange peel all race across the palate, buffered by bright, salivating acids and long, finessed tannins."
