2022 Paul Lato 'Seabiscuit' Pinot Noir, Zotovich Vineyard
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Seabiscuit Zotovich Vineyard has some classic Sta. Rita Hills salty, mineral, savory notes as well as a core of both red and black fruits, some floral, gamey, and bouquet garni nuances, medium body, a round, layered mouthfeel, and fine tannins. It's very much in the more open-knit, perfumed, supple style of the vintage and is already drinking beautifully." -Jeb Dunnuck, 95JD
One of Santa Barbara County's most storied producers, for more than 2 decades Paul has been crafting some of most lavish and refined wines along the Central Coast. A master at coaxing all of the perfumed aromatics of his Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Rhône productions, his true talent lies in putting those genies back into the bottle on the palate, combining the decadence of the grape on the nose with the quiet power of site in the glass. A master.
