Sweet dark wild berries, very young tasting, big candied spice, sandalwood, sweet tobacco, bright acidity. Reminded me of a KB. Can't believe it's 9 years old?!?! My fav of the night.

Muted at first....opened to bright cherry/raspberry, candied spice, tart cranberry citrus acidity. Later on, age crept in, showed a little tawny-ness, orange peel acidity. Lightest wine.....not bad, but least favorite.

Ahhhh....Garys' funk! Now this is what I think of in a Garys' Pinot. Nice dark berry, sassafras, sandalwood, cherry pie crust, slight acidic tingle. Great balance...with the funk giving that extra complexity. Again....these 99's are holding up very very well.

Beautiful softness and balance....wild berry, plum fruit...orange peel acidity, potpourri spice, cinnamon. The best balanced wine of the bunch....a true joy to drink.
