The unbelievable 2013 Paul Lato wines....




2013 Paul Lato Pinot Noir:
“Retasting the latest Pinots from Paul Lato... Some of the best in the region and his '13 rock.”  -Jeb Dunnuck The Wine Advocate 


"One of my favorite producers in the Central Coast, Paul Lato continues to make thrilling Pinot Noirs and Syrahs that have texture, richness and depth while never seeming heavy or cumbersome. These are gorgeous wines across the board and you can’t go wrong here." 

      - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate

We have an amazing selection of 2013 Paul Lato wines in stock. These wines are sure to get huge scores in August when Jeb Dunnuck of The Wine Advocate reviews California's Central Coast. Stay ahead of the game and stock up on Paul Lato's stunning 2013's now and relax when the press comes out.

2013 Paul Lato “Matinee” Pinot Noir...$45.99
A blend of single vineyard wines, including Paderewski, Pisoni, Hillard Bruce, and Zotovich. Paul Lato's bottlings from these vineyards go for $80+. This wine overdelivers with bright red fruits, a silky texture, and a very long finish. Delicious! Get on board with the 2013 vintage for Santa Barbara, it's amazing!


2013 Paul Lato “The Contender” Pinot Noir Drum Canyon Vineyard...$85.99

Made from two suitcase clones (Swan and Calera) grown on a steep, south-facing slope in the Sta. Rita Hills, the 2013 Pinot Noir The Contender Drum Canyon Vineyard has discrete oak in its blackcurrant, black cherry, underbrush, rose petal and spice-laced bouquet. This gives way to a ripe, nicely concentrated and juicy Pinot Noir that has bright acidity and a taut, energetic texture. It's currently lacking a touch of the integration found in the other releases, yet is still beautiful. Give it a year in bottle and enjoy through 2023.
Rated 93+/100 The Wine Advocate


2013 Paul Lato “Seabiscut” Pinot Noir Zotovich Vineyard...$85.99
One of the standouts in this stacked lineup was the 2013 Pinot Noir Seabiscuit Zotovich Vineyard. Aged 16 months in 70% new French oak and the greatest Pinot Noir I've tasted from this vineyard, it offers incredible notes of cassis, raspberries, dried earth, spice and that classic saltiness that's so common from the Sta. Rita Hills. Full-bodied, layered, multi-dimensional and elegant, with perfectly integrated acidity and polished tannin, it's a fabulous Pinot Noir that will have more than a decade of longevity. Unfortunately, there were on eight barrels produced.
Rated 97+/100 The Wine Advocate



2013 Paul Lato “Suerte” Solomon Hills Vineyard...$85.99
Possibly the greatest wine to date from this incredible site that's located just south of Santa Maria, Lato's 2013 Pinot Noir Solomon Hills Vineyard Suerte offers sensational levels of sweet red fruits, currants, forest floor, spring flowers and salty minerality on both the nose and palate. Sexy, seamless and elegant, with its acidity perfectly integrated into its core of sweet fruit, it doesn't put a foot wrong, has fine tannin and is already hard to resist. Nevertheless, it should be better in another 1-2 years and drink well through 2023+.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate


2013 Paul Lato Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard “Lancelot”...$95.99

One of the more tight and backward efforts in the vintage, the 2013 Pinot Noir Lancelot Pisoni Vineyard has a focused, pure and edgy style in its sweet black cherry, blackberry, spring flowers and distinct wet rock-like minerality. It shows more rose petal and floral notes with air, but also closed down slightly, so give bottles another year or two in the cellar. This is a gorgeous Pinot Noir that's a solid step up from the 2012.
Rated 95+/100 The Wine Advocate
