Roar 2021 Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands

Winery Notes: “The Godfather – The leader-of-the-gang that everyone looks up to for inspiration and advice.  It wields power like a boss and shows its softer side with ease.

Winery Tasting Notes: “Leather, tobacco, and cola in a dense, masculine cloak of ripe dark berries make one imagine sipping this in an old 19th-century library. This wine has a refined richness that stands out, and ages beautifully.”

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points (previous vintage): “The ROAR Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard comes all from the Pisoni and Calera clones and saw 54% new French oak. Another complex, Burgundian-style release from this team, it offers notes of wild strawberries, cured meats, iodine, and damp earth, with more violet and floral notes developing with time in the glass. Beautifully layered, pure, and silky on the palate, with polished tannins, it shows the class of this great vintage and is going to drink brilliantly for at least a decade.”
