title: Paul Lato 2007 Fiddlestix Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: A spectacular Pinot Noir, but you don't want to open it anytime soon. Shows the pedigree of this vineyard, a superbly balanced wine rich in acidity and minerals. The fruit? Black and red cherries, blackberries, cola, cocoa powder and red currants, enriched with smoky cedarwood. Beautiful, but needs time. The window is 2011–2013.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Fiddlestix Vineyard
