Paul Lato Pinot Noir Magic Moments 2023

98 Points | JD
“Coming from the Hyde Vineyard in Carneros, the 2023 Pinot Noir Magic Moments sports a deep ruby, semi-opaque hue and offers remarkable purity in its black raspberry and framboise-like core of fruit, along with perfumed floral, spice, and subtle oak-driven aromatics. Aged 19 months in 65% new French oak, it carries to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated Pinot Noir with beautifully integrated acidity, a supple, layered mouthfeel, and ample ripe tannins. It’s another sensational Paul Lato Pinot Noir that readers will love to drink any time over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035.” - Jeb Dunnuck
