Paul Lato Description
Savor the exquisite Paul Lato "East of Eden" Chardonnay from the venerable Pisoni Vineyard, a symphony of matured finesse aged 16 months in new French oak. With a golden-lemon sparkle, this wine enchants with a bouquet of white nectarine, yellow apple, and honeysuckle, enriched by a brioche and yuzu zest complexity. On the palate, it delivers a voluptuous roundness impeccably balanced by a vivacious acidity, culminating in a fruit-forward, herb-kissed mineral finish. Ideal for aging, it promises to unfold into even more splendor. Pair with creamy seafood or a rich gruyère to elevate its inherent flavors. Vibrancy in a glass, this Chardonnay is a testament to the craft of California winemaking.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
From a site in the southern, slightly warmer portion of the Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2021 Chardonnay East of Eden Pisoni Vineyard is one of the tighter, more mineral-drench, backward Chardonnays in the lineup. Crushed citrus, flinty minerality, orange blossom, and spicy wood notes all define the aromatics, and it's pure and medium to full-bodied, with integrated acidity and a focused, layered style that will benefit from a year or two of bottle age. It will drink beautifully through 2031.
