2021 "Kokoro" Pinot Noir

California Reserve, 98 points

"A complex and multi-layered California Pinot Noir, the 2021 “Kokoro” opens with an intensely perfumed nose of cherry and strawberry compote with brown baking spices. A juicy, savory palate of fleshy red and black fruit is supported by silky textures, nuanced acid, and a finish reminiscent of grilled plums, cloves, pipe tobacco and hibiscus tea." - Paul Lato

"One of my favorites in the lineup .... Incredibly textured and flawlessly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, this is another remarkable Pinot Noir from Lato that I wish every reader could taste." - 98 points, Jeb Dunnuck
