This second vintage of Lucy’s Pico Blanco from Monterey County continues its impressive winemaking style. Comprised of 85% Pinot Gris and 15% Pinot Blanc, this is both elegant and exciting; an enticing white wine for people who don’t like white wines. It offers crisp acidity, fresh flavors of lemon zest, lime kefir, quince, white peach and Asian pear, lithe honeysuckle, fresh baked bread, light resin and a stony minerality. The Lucy label is from the Pisoni brothers and the Pisoni family has been producing wine from Monterey since the early 1970s. The 2021 iteration was a mere 460 cases, and the 2022 doubles that. Though not widely available, it is well worth seeking out for a unique and fresh spin on white wine. ORIGIN: Monterey County. ALCOHOL: 14.1%.
