Note di degustazione
Matured for 18 months in 80% new French oak, the 2021 Pinot Noir Kokoro has inviting scents of wild red and black berries, charcuterie, earth and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated flavors with silky tannins, and it has a long finish with youthful streaks of allspice.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Kokoro is a powerful, intense wine. Savory herbs, crushed rose petal, leather and menthol all build in the glass. The Kokoro is a four barrel blend of the best lots in the cellar although it is not clear to me that this blend is better than the best of the single-vineyard lots.
One of my favorites in the lineup (although that's splitting hairs), the 2021 Pinot Noir Kokoro has a slightly deeper ruby hue as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of framboise, white flowers, scorched earth, and chalky minerality. Incredibly textured and flawlessly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, this is another remarkable Pinot Noir from Lato that I wish every reader could taste. This cuvée was completely destemmed and raised 17 months in 80% new French oak.
