JEB DUNNUCK 96 POINTS - "Moving to the three Syrah releases, the 2018 Garys' Vineyard is a dead ringer for a Cote Rotie with its ripe framboise, crushed stone, peppery herbs, violets, green olive, and spring flower aromas and flavors. Beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins and good acidity, give bottles a year or two and enjoy over the following decade."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 95 POINTS - "The Pisoni family has long been synonymous with the Santa Lucia Highlands, and its wines and their farming roots here go back to 1952, when Gary Pisoni's parents established their vegetable farm in Gonzalez. Gary took the initiative to plant vines in 1982, and the rest is well-known history to Pinot Noir fans. His sons are now fully in charge, with Mark watching over the family's meticulously maintained vineyards and extensive vegetable plantings and Jeff making the wines at their facility up in Santa Rosa."
"Inky ruby. Pungent, spice-accented black and blue fruits, licorice, olive paste and potpourri on the explosively perfumed nose. Stains the palate with deeply concentrated black raspberry, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors, and picks up spiciness and energy with aeration. Rich and broad but lively as well, finishing with sharp delineation, steadily building tannins and powerful, blue-fruit- and floral-driven persistence."
