AROMA  

Darker, blacker fruits offer depth and richness. Hints of currants and cola linger in the background.

Rich and exotic, the Garys’ Vineyard bottling expresses black cherry and blackberry. Dusty, cedar notes support the core of fresh stone fruit. The finish tapers slowly with currants and subtle floral notes.

SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS, CALIFORNIA
THE SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS IS recognized for producing some of California’s most powerful yet intricate and impeccably balanced Pinot Noirs. Perched upon the East-facing terraces of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the vines are consistently cooled by wind and fog drawn from the depths of Monterey Bay. Within this region is the city of Salinas, an agricultural town surrounded by fruit and vegetable growers with a comprehensive climate blended of coastal breezes and sun that is ideal for grape-growing. There are plenty of favorite local hangouts to discover if you make the stop. The BBQ is truly magical and worthy of a detour in and of itself.
