In Paul Lato's opinion the only way to achieve full ripeness in 2011 was to drop a considerable amount of fruit. Yields are therefore down dramatically. Overall, the 2011s are medium in body and quite pretty. Most of the Pinots have distinctly savory profiles that suggest some use of whole clusters, but they were in fact all made from fully destemmed fruit. Lato used about 50-75% new French oak barrels for the 2011s, with the exception of the Padrino, which got 100% new oak. The malolactics were protracted, not unusual for a cold year.
