Tasting notes
More exotic notes of candied strawberries, red plums, violets, new leather, and exotic flowers all define the bouquet of the 2020 Pinot Noir Stand By Me Drum Canyon Vineyard, another rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, floral, nicely structured Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir. I like its tannins, and like many of Lato's 2020s, it has good structure and a more focused, chiseled style that should reward a year or two of bottle age. Drink after 2023.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Drum Canyon Vineyard Stand by Me is powerful and yet also quite translucent, as few of these wines are. Dark cherry, plum, sweet spice, lavender and incense give the 2020 notable density as well as complexity. There's terrific dimension here, and plenty of stylishness too. It's another stellar wine from Paul Lato.
