Possessing a Gevrey-like perfume of ripe darker fruits, underbrush, game, and hints of iron, the 2022 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is medium to full-bodied and has a nicely concentrated, textured mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and well-integrated acidity. It's not far off the style of the Garys' Vineyard, with nicely integrated stems (it was fermented with 20% whole clusters), and it turns more rose petal and floral with air. Don't be afraid to give this plenty of air if drinking any time soon. I love its complexity as well as its elegance paired with impressive richness on the palate.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard, fermented with 30% whole clusters, is medium ruby-purple in color. Scents of black cherries, juicy plums, and boysenberry hop from the glass, giving way to underlying hints of licorice, crushed rocks, and lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate is densely laden with ripe black berry flavors framed by fine-grained tannins and a lively line, finishing long with a spicy kick.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard is floral and lifted but also rich and concentrated. Dark rose petals, dark sweet cherry, pomegranate, baking spice and a soft embrace of extremely fine, gauze-like tannin lends structure. In spite of its dark character, ample freshness and clear delineation of flavors are at play. Well done. - BN

The 2022 Pinot Noir Soberanes Vineyard sees more whole clusters and less new oak than the other wines in the Pisoni range, a combination that affords it noticeably more clarity and balance. The nose opens with dehydrated red fruits and tobacco aromas, transitioning to a soft, velvety palate. It concludes with a ripe yet structured, grippy finish that manages an ethereal, mineral-tinged lift with some coaxing. - Matthew Luczy
