Paul Lato
Paul Lato produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region defined by cool maritime influence and diverse microclimates. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, varietal expressions shaped by specific vineyard sites. Festina Lente Cabernet Sauvignon represents the winery's work with the region's darker-skinned varieties, while Victor Francis Peake Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir and C'est la Vie Drum Canyon Vineyard Pinot Noir showcase the winery's focus on single-vineyard Pinot bottlings. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. The Central Coast's range of elevations and soil types allows for both structured Cabernet and the silken complexity Pinot Noir can achieve in cooler pockets of the region.
