Pisoni Santa Lucia Highlands Estate Pinot Noir 2023 CS20230804 and fruit along with funkierPisoni is one of the founding estates of the Santa Lucia Highlands Gary Pisoni stuck Pinot Noir vines in this windy, sun drenched bench above the Salinas Valley back in 1982, when the AVA didn't even exist yet.
