2005 PINOT NOIR, GARYS' VINEYARD

Dark-ruby in color with black fruit aromas laced with mocha and spice, this wine embodies all that is bright and beautiful about Pinot Noir. Flavors of luscious cherries, strawberries and cream spread richly across the palate. Polished and elegant, Garys’ has a supple mouthfeel and gentle tannic grip on the long, generous finish.

"Pinot Noir is all about passion and devotion. Everything about this wine requires dedication, and once you’re hooked, there is no going back. It is the ultimate in individual expression, and some would say the Holy Grail of winemaking - and wine drinking. We are incredibly fortunate to work with two of California’s most talented and dedicated growers of this fruit, Gary Franscioni and Gary Pisoni. We share their passion and zeal for Pinot Noir and carefully hand craft two wines that express the individuality of the harvest they coax and conjure from their pristine vineyards."
