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. — 3 years ago

2006 vintage. The unlabeled bottle on the left. This one is brandy fortified late harvest petite sirah. Very pleasant, styled much more like a traditional port than their regular late harvest petite sirah which is not fortified. Some heat evident here, though it doesn’t detract from the fruit. Smooth and sweet with a medium short finish. — 8 years ago

...Sapori in Boca... FDNY meets the Consigliere... Meal was outstanding... This bottle... Like a Super Tuscan with a sixth grape of Sangiovese... Damm this was good... — 9 years ago
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 . — 2 years ago
