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.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard has a medium ruby color, and the nose gives up graphite-tinged cranberries, blackberries and red cherries with accents of underbrush, tree bark and dried citrus peel. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and earthy with bright citrus accents and great freshness, finishing very long.

Pale ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard has a fantastic array of savory/meaty/earthy aromas with fragrant black raspberry and black cherry notes with hints of cardamom, fenugreek and aniseed plus a waft of roses. Medium-bodied, the palate is packed with gregarious red berry and earthy layers that are supported by fine-grained tannins and racy acid, finishing long with plenty to provoke interest. 493 cases were made.

Seeing a touch of whole clusters in the fermenter, the 2014 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is another pretty, savory wine that offers lots of red currants, dried cherries, spice and herbs, with a touch of the Garys' vineyard minerality and dried earth emerging with time in the glass. Medium-bodied, nicely textured and balanced on the palate, with good acidity, drink bottles over the coming 5-6 years.

A much more masculine and mineral expression of Pinot Noir, the 2013 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard comes from a site located to the south of Rosella's and just beside Soberanes. This is a slightly warmer terroir than Rosella's and the soils here are all sandy loam. Fermented with 15% whole clusters and aged in 65% new oak, it gives up lots of darker berry fruits, sous bois, crushed rock and peppery herbs characteristics to go with a full-bodied, rich, concentrated style on the palate. It took the most time to open up and has ample tannin, so another year in bottle is recommended here.
