Note di degustazione
According to their website: 'Lucia is the sister label of the Pisoni Estate wines. Whereas Pisoni Estate is committed to a single expression of the Pisoni Vineyards, Lucia represents the collection of vineyards that the Pisoni Family farms: Pisoni Vineyards, Soberanes Vineyard and Garys’ Vineyard (the latter two farmed in partnership with Gary Franscioni). Lucia wines are made alongside the Pisoni Estate wines using the same exacting standards for quality.' 31.2 miles from the coast. Sweet and jewelly. Lots of directed fruit. A bit sweet, not at all burgundian, but delivers lots of pleasure. (JR)

If you want to get a feel for the quality of an estate, their base appellation level cuvee is a good place to start. In this case, Lucia's 2014 Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands is a perfect example of the incredible quality that's consistently coming from this estate. A blend of the Pisoni, Garys' and Soberanes vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, this plump, forward, concentrated and downright sexy beauty isn't for those craving lightweight aromas and flavors and is almost bursting at the seams with notions of framboise, wild strawberries, spice and crushed flowers. A rich, powerful wine, it has medium to full-bodied richness, impeccable balance and a core of sweet fruit that just begs you to take another sip. Buy a case of this hedonistic beauty and drink it over the coming 4-5 years.
