Winemakers’ Comments
While the Rosella’s is the new kid on the block in the Santa Lucia Highlands, the Garys’ Vineyard has become a more established “middle-aged” vineyard. For those of us buying Garys’ fruit from the beginning that is difficult to come to grips with as it seems that the 1999 vintage (the year of the first crop off of Garys’) was just around the corner. The wines tell a different story. Both the 2002, and now the 2003, vintages are the finest wines this vineyard has produced. They show a richness and depth of flavor that only comes from a mature vineyard. Lively flavors of raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate carry thru on a long finish with good acidity helping make this a wonderful wine for a rich meal.

Accolades for the 2003 Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir
picy, black cherry flavors—a real core of deep fruit flavors, silky, some smoky bacon notes.
