Pretty deep ruby garnet with garnet , terracotta . Quite sweet , spiced , dried fruit nose , slightly volatile nose . On the palate this is better , meaty and rich spiced dried dark fruits, plum , fig. Quite grippy tannins and balanced acidity . Good density and rich meaty finish , a little porty, pretty good length . Dense and rich , much more than expected . Still dense and really quite young, held up well in the glass , this would probably continue at this level for a further 5-10 years . — 5 days ago

I know everyone recognizes Gary’s vineyard for the Pinot grown here but to me it’s always been the Syrah that really shines at this address owned by Gary Francisoni and Gary Pisoni. Estrella Clone planted on the sandy arroyo seco loam, mid way down the Salinas valley in the santa Lucia highlands. This beauty shows a lot of blue fruit compote, bacon fat and sandal wood. It is beautifully composed and like most of the Pisoni wines, it really starts to shine around year five. Honestly California Syrah doesn’t get a lot better than this. — 2 years ago

Paired with barbecue per Total Wine's recommendation. Paired really well. All your favorite cab sauv notes, soft tannins really make you come back for more sips. Would drink again! — 2 months ago
