Hailing from one of the best sites in California for Pinot Noir, the 2005 Garys' Vineyard is a worthy successor to the 2004. The 2005 Pinot Noir, Garys' Vineyard offers great draughts of aromatic complexity: black cherry, raspberry, cocoa, fivespice powder, and black plum. In the mouth, the wine displays great power and finesse, starting with wonderful viscosity and flavor and finishing with significant acidity.
