Paul Lato Chardonnay East of Eden 2021

97 Points | RP
“The 2021 Chardonnay East of Eden Pisoni Vineyard comes from 39-year-old vines in the Pisoni Vineyard. The wine underwent full malolactic conversion and was matured for 16 months in 55% new French oak. It has pure, layered scents of white peaches, meringue, allspice and chaparral with undertones of iodine. The palate combines a powerful core of fruit with singular, oceanic accents. It glides through the mouth with a luxurious, satiny texture foiled by focused acidity and finishes with incredible length and perfume. It will be long lived in bottle. 143 cases were made.” - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
