This is one of our favorite California Pinots with loads of dark cherry and raspberry intertwined with layers of spice and earthiness offering a great mouthfeel all the way through a long and decadent finish.

What experts say about this wine

Wine Enthusiast

Ripe and joyous dark cherry and berry pie aromas leap from the nose of this bottling, but it’s the earthy veil of loam, dust and chaparral spice that provides particular depth. The texture is firm and the energy is bright on the palate, where a refreshing acidity drives through black cherry compote, sumac and mace flavors.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard has a semi-opaque ruby hue (as do all of these 2021s from Roar) to go with medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of redcurrant, black raspberry, and mulberry-like fruit as well as lots of classic Pinot Noir black tea, underbrush, and spicy aromatics. This beauty has the most opulence and exuberance of all the Pinot Noirs on the palate and has a great mid-palate, lots of fruit and texture, and a great finish.
