Planted in the early 1980s and farmed with extreme care, it has become one of the most sought-after sources of Pinot fruit in California. Most producers working with Pisoni fruit release their wines at $100 to $125 without hesitation. Sean Capiaux has been sourcing Pinot Noir from Pisoni Vineyard since 1998, making him one of the longest-tenured producers on the site. That experience shows. His Pisoni Pinot is consistently expressive, generous, and impeccably balanced — a wine that delivers power without losing finesse. In the glass, this is classic Pisoni: dark cherry, black raspberry, exotic spice, and a savory, mouthwatering finish that keeps the wine fresh and lifted despite its richness. It’s plush and energetic at the same time, with structure that allows it to age beautifully while still being irresistible now. The wine is aged in roughly 30 percent new French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered, and produced in very small quantities. It’s honest, site-driven Pinot Noir made by someone who understands the vineyard intimately. At $65, this is one of the best values in high-end California Pinot Noir — easily half the price of most wines from the same vineyard. If you love Pinot and know what Pisoni represents, this is an easy yes.
