"The 2008 Pinot Noir Lancelot from the famed Pisoni Vineyard was fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled without filtration. It exhibits a gorgeous bouquet of forest floor, black raspberries and black cherries that suggests a top premier or grand cru from Vosne-Romanée. A beautiful texture, layers of fruit, superb purity and a voluptuous mouthfeel make for an exquisite Pinot Noir reminiscent of a hypothetical blend of ripe California fruit and the complexity of a Burgundy. Paul Lato is one of the up-and-coming superstars of California’s Central Coast. I reviewed his Syrah cuvées in the Central Coast report published in issue #190 (8-31-10). It appears Lato’s first love is Pinot Noir, and in a few short years he has proven what meticulous/perfectionist techniques can bring from a young man obsessed by wine. His future looks bright and this is one of the wonderful wine stories of the year."
