6/25/2021 - alexlb06 Likes this wine: 93 pointsStewed prunes, burnt earth, fine tannins, and full bodied. Opened up after a good hour to 90 min. Nice long finish. Went great with rabbit saddle wrapped in bacon. 6-24-21 at Vianda |

I've become a massive fan of Gary's vineyard over the years, having tasted pinots produced by Morgan, Loring, and Miner. This vineyard has some distinctive qualities that seem to jump out regardless of the producer and the varietal. |

9/3/2017 - Russocaster Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark, shinny, opaque juice from Santa Lucia Highlands. Concentrated black fruit with a huge black pepper overtone. Licorice and spices are also present. Good length. Allow it to breathe at least half-hour before serving. Recommended |

12/26/2016 - John McCabe wrote: 94 pointsThis has improved again over the last few years. This now has more weight, more excitement and more precision. It's altogether more serious and expressive. There is spice, but nothing over-done, there's some racy intensity of red and black fruit. This is a great example of a wine that shines with more age; I was a bit disappointed when I tasted this in previous years, but this is so much more virile and decadent now vs. before. It's amazing the difference a couple of years can make. This may be better still in two years - a bit more softness could make this better still. |

5/28/2016 - George Lopez Likes this wine: 90 pointsA classic 90-point wine--an easy sipper that's tasty right out of the bottle. It's not a Cote Rotie, but it's a great value. |

11/4/2015 - NoWineWiz wrote: 86 pointsPnP. Nice nose of dark fruit, pine and vanilla. Palate was less inviting, with sweet and stewed dark fruit, a little cedar and faint, but grippy, tannins. After an hour, the fruit had subsided and integrated with tobacco and hints of leather. The tannins were softened with a medium finish. |

2/8/2015 - JC Cab wrote: 89 pointsBig red fruit from the glass along with some spice...hint of white pepper. Black cherry, boysenberry, toasted oak and hint of vanilla on the palate. Tannins still moderate but integrated with medium plus alcohol. Long finish with the return of the white pepper nuance. Pretty big wine that can still age but drinking nicely now. |
