about this wine:
The Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir is the flagship wine of Lucia Vineyards & Winery and a joint venture between two native growers of the Santa Lucia Highlands (AVA established in 1991). Gary Pisoni and Gary Franscioni planted this 50-acre vineyard to pinot and syrah in 1997. Its location on a sloping hillside in the center of the 16-mile long appellation offers a true representation of the Santa Lucia Highlands: Alluvial soils with a lot of fog and wind in the summer.
Specific barrels are hand selected and blended together to create a wine that best reflects the unique terroir of the Garys' Vineyard. This site produces wines of vibrant, pretty and floral aromatics with a lush, rich texture and firm acidity. The wines drink well upon release, but contain the acidity and tannins to age gracefully for several years.

Vivid ruby-red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, cherry-cola and minerals, with a subtle nutmeg nuance. Silky and seamless, displaying a degree of restraint to its sappy red fruit flavors. Finishes very long and spicy, with gentle tannins and alluring floral character.
