Cult Pisoni Exclusive Library Only for Artisans. 97pt Rank #7 Top 100 Garys' & More Brought by Jeff Personally
A 14-year-old magnum from the Pisoni family library, hand-carried by Jeff. Magnum-aged Pinot at this level is almost never poured publicly — and never sold at retail. The format collectors prize for graceful aging: slower oxidation, deeper savor, more layered on the palate.

2 · The 97-Point Estate Release Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir 2019
|
|
⚠ Miniscule Production · Only 700 Cases Made Worldwide |
The 97-point Estate flagship from one of the most decorated vintages Pisoni has released. Grown on the ridge Gary Pisoni planted in 1982 at 1,300 feet above the Salinas Valley — the Grand Cru of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Now in its drinking window; will cellar another decade.
|
97 Points · Top 100 Wines of 2021 · Jeb Dunnuck "Another beautiful vintage for this cuvée, the 2019 Pinot Noir shows a more elegant, pure, classic style than some previous years. Gorgeous nose of ripe cherries, raspberries, and blueberries, followed by classic Pisoni minerality, brambly herbs, violets, and forest floor. As always, this site imparts an incredible sense of rocky, mineral-like nuances, and there's a liqueur of rock-like sensation on the finish. Will have 15-20 years of prime drinking." — Jul 2021 |

97 Points · Rank #7 Top 100 of 2024 · Wine Enthusiast "Lovely layers of black cherry compote and star anise ride waves of rich spice and dark fruit on the alluring and awesome nose of this bottling from what is arguably the appellation's most iconic vineyard. Ample acidity and texture frame the dense but bright red fruit and baking spice flavors, leading into a clean, fresh and intense finish." — Matt Kettmann, Oct 2024 |

Everything here speaks to refinement, polish and poise." — Billy Norris, Jul 2025 |

You are among the first people on Earth to lock in the 2024 Pisoni Estate Chardonnay — Jeb Dunnuck 97 points before anyone outside the cellar had a glass. The 2024 vintage out-scored the previous one straight out of the gate. Grown on the same ridge as the Estate Pinot, hand-picked, native-fermented, aged 17 months in French oak and Foudre.
|
97 Points · Jeb Dunnuck "From own-rooted vines planted in 1999, the 2024 Chardonnay is highly textural, coming from the higher reaches of a historic site in deep granite soils. It's a generous, medium-bodied phenolic white that speaks to a purity of orchard fruit, gravelly stone, and wildflowers, integrated in oak and acidity. This beautiful, layered wine will age over many years." — Virginia Boone, Jun 2026 |

Ahead of the winery's September release.

96 Points · Vinous Media "The 2024 Chardonnay Soberanes Vineyard is heady, floral, laden with citrus pith bitterness and buzzing with salty, enlivened acids. There's a sense of a coiled-up springiness here, building in the glass before the wine explodes through the finish. The 2024 possesses generous texture and also lightness on its feet — a super-appealing combination. I loved this from barrel, and the finished wine is every bit as great." — Billy Norris, May 2026 |
