Miner Family
Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir
Santa Lucia Highlands, Central Coast, California, USA
Founded in 1988 by Dave Miner, president of Oakville Ranch Vineyards, along with his wife Emily and his parents, Ed and Norma. Gorgeous light Ruby on the pour, ample red fruit aromas with oaky spice notes. Palate has big cherry and sweet red plum flavors, cacao and cinnamon spice with balanced oak. Rich full soft tannins lingering finish ending with herb character. Very Nice! Went well with a Halibut Livornese.

Mar 3rd, 2018Founded in 1988 by Dave Miner, along with his wife Emily and his parents, Ed and Norma. Aged for 15 months on French oak (60% new), from a 50-acre vineyard planted in 1995 by Gary Franscioni and Gary Pisoni along the terraces of the Santa Lucia mountains. Aromas of fresh dark berry fruit and wonderful baking spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cranberry and cola with toasty notes, well balanced. Fine tannins on lingering finish ending with a burst of fruit. Very nice.

Aug 7th, 2017A very light garnet color in my glass. Very nice floral, baking spice, nutmeg and Tart cherry hints on the nose. Don't be fooled by how light the wine appears in your glass. Elegant flavors of Tart cherries, pie crust, white pepper and smokiness on the palate. A great long finish with beautiful fruit carried on a smoky backbone. Garys' Vineyard is one of my favorite vineyards in Santa Lucia Highlands. A fantastic wine especially for the price point.
