Luli, Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands 2021

Jancis Robinson
"100% destemmed fruit, fermented with ambient yeasts. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine is a collaboration between Master Sommelier Sara Floyd and the Pisoni Family, with Jeff Pisoni making the wine.
Lighter garnet with a faint haze. Smells of red berries and flowers. Juicy berry and floral notes mix with more herbal undercurrents, as fantastic acidity keeps the whole package thrumming across the palate. Notes of citrus peel linger in the finish along with redcurrant. Faint, wispy tannins. Very delicious. 17/20 points. (AY)"

Vinous Reverie Notes
Tasting Notes: Sumptuous, expressive, and undeniably pure, the 2021 Luli Pinot Noir is a refreshing and delicious expression of this world class California appellation. A vibrant and youthful medium ruby hue splashes into the glass, releasing notes of strawberry compote, fresh rhubarb, sandalwood, and baking spice. Becoming more expressive with each swirl in the glass, this wine awakens the palate with the first sip. Distinctly spicy at first, with subtle hints of sage and dried herbs giving way to generous and focused flavors of black cherry and raspberry crumble. The finish is no less remarkable, as soft, delicate tannin gives way to bright acidity suggesting this wine will only improve with time.
