The 2019 Pinot Noir Seabiscuit Zotovich Vineyard comes from the Sta. Rita Hills and was brought up in 65% new French oak. It shows the spicy, savory, salty style of the appellation, yet all with restraint, and it's the purity of fruit that leads, with gorgeous ripe raspberries, cherries, and mulberries all front and center. More medium-bodied, elegant, and impeccably balanced, it's already impossible to resist yet has a good 7-8 years of prime drinking ahead of it.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Zotovich Vineyard Seabiscuit is gracious and beautifully lifted. Crushed rose petal, mint, spice, raspberry and mint lend presence to this effusive, alluring Pinot. Sandy soils at Zotovich always yield Pinots of aromatic presence. Paul Lato's 2019 is an especially sophisticated, silky Pinot from this site.
