Dark magenta. Assertive red and blue fruit preserve, cherry and floral scents are complemented by oak spice, incense and smoky mineral accents. Shows impressive depth and solid thrust on the palate, offering spice-tinged black raspberry, cherry cola and boysenberry flavors that pick up candied rose and vanilla nuances with air. Finishes impressively long and smoky, with youthfully firm tannins providing grip to lingering dark berry and five-spice powder notes. 54% new French oak.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard comes all from the Pisoni and Calera clones and saw 54% new French oak. Another complex, Burgundian style release from this team, it offers notes of wild strawberries, cured meats, iodine, and damp earth, with more violet and floral notes developing with time in the glass. Beautifully layered, pure, and silky on the palate, with polished tannins, it shows the class of this great vintage and is going to drink brilliantly for at least a decade.
