Paul Lato

"Il Padrino" Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah 2021

One of Paul Lato's finest. Bien Nacido with a beautiful nose and stone fruits. Inky black out of the bottle. Loads of berries and plum. Classic finish with great length. This could easily keep for another 10. Touché on this one. — 19 hours ago

Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022

Delectable Wine
9.1

The 2022 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is redolent of sweet dried cherry, spice, new leather, mint and sweet pipe tobacco. This aromatic, gracious Pinot is a charmer. All the elements are nicely balanced throughout. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2024)

Santa Maria Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Tropical, pineapple, passionfruit. Excellent! Your tongue awakens with the tropical flavors including ripe white nectarines and orange pith. Good value. Bought at the winery!!!! surprisingly good for a 10 year sauvignon blanc. Tastes alive and fresh! Wow. — 2 months ago
