Garys’ Vineyard is a highly acclaimed and storied site owned by two Garys. It was planted in the mid ’90’s to Pisoni clones in Santa Lucia Highlands sandy loam soil. With my first vintage of Garys’ in 1999, I could sense its old-world beginnings and knew this vineyard could rival some of the great Burgundy “grand cru” sites.

"Smooth and silky with an earthy underbrush of spice, the 2023 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is impressively textured and darkly colored, full-bodied and rich in berry fruit and damp earth. Nicely structured, the tannins are soft and supple and will support a long drinking window now through 2033."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Garys, Vineyard is bright, punchy and super-expressive. Lively acids drive through a core of red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, spice and crushed rocks. This shows terrific energy and cut. Sean Capiaux gave this fruit a bit more time on the skins in 2023."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is round, succulent and super-expressive, with all the elements very nicely in balance. Juicy red cherry/plum fruit, rose petals, mint and blood orange all meld together in this sensual, inviting Pinot Noir."
