“Lucia is owned by the Pisoni Family, which has farmed the region for three generations, along the way becoming masters of both grapegrowing and winemaking.” - Wine Spectator
These 2018s from Pisoni’s vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands are regarded as some of the finest wines this family has ever made. We have a small allocation arriving this week. Please let me know if you’re interested.
Lucia Gary’s Pinot Noir 2018 - $64.99 net - 96 pts Jeb Dunnuck / 93 pts Wine Spectator
“The 2018 Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard is a little more dense, focused, and tight, with beautiful black cherry and currant fruits as well as notes of camphor, new leather, violets, and earthy notes. I love its balance. Medium to full-bodied, it has nicely integrated acidity, subtle oak, and a great finish. It’s going to keep for 7-8 years, easily. Along with the 2016, it’s the finest vintage of this release I’ve tasted!” - JD
Lucia Soberanes Pinot Noir 2018 - $59.99 net - 94+ pts Jeb Dunnuck / 94 pts Connoisseurs Guide / 91 pts Wine Spectator
“The 2018 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is slightly more Burgundian, with lots of darker, earthy red and black fruit as well as spice, forest floor, and autumn leaf and black tea notes as well as medium to full body, a rounded, nicely textured mouthfeel, and building tannins. It’s another terrific wine, yet I think a year or two in bottle will do it well.” - JD
Lucia Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir 2018 - $42.99 net - 94 pts Jeb Dunnuck / 94 pts Wine Enthusiast / 92 pts Wine Spectator
