Tasting notes
The 2017 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is pale to medium ruby in color and offers gregarious scents of strawberry and raspberry jam, crushed blueberries and blackberries with notes of rose petals, dried leaves, cinnamon, earth and amaro. Medium-bodied and über silky, it has delicate berries flavors laced with loads of spice, earth and floral accents, finely grained and fresh with a long, layered finish. Lovely! 744 cases produced.

Deep shimmering red. Ripe, spice-accented cherry, black raspberry, vanilla and smoky minerals on the deeply perfumed, expansive nose. Intense red and dark berry liqueur flavors are supported by a core of juicy acidity. With aeration, picks up five-spice powder and floral qualities; these carry through the impressively long, seamless finish, which features rounded tannins and a resonating cherry note.
Both deeper and darker than the Rosella’s Vineyard, the 2017 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard offers more blackberry, toasted spice, dried earth, and some garrigue-like notes, with just a hint of background oak. It too is medium-bodied, elegant, and seamless on the palate, with beautiful balance.
