I know everyone recognizes Garyโs vineyard for the Pinot grown here but to me itโs 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 doesnโt get a lot better than this. โ 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! โ 18 days ago
