. This Garys did not disappoint; loaded with fruit, flowers and spice notes all around. Taste had the same and a bit of cola and some minerality. Very smooth finish just a very enjoyable wine.

Last bottle of Garys, in fact no more Rosella and Pisoni either. Always thought the Garys’ were the best. Rosella were okay and forget about the Pisoni. Pisoni were either so over the top it was undrinkable and then another bottle was stunning - stopped buying them early on. Still have a bunch of Roar’s Sierra Mar and SLH. But over all, prices too high and I’m too old to hold wines for 5 to 10 years before drinking them.

just got back from Bordeaux and the Périgord. I brought some treats from the area to share with friends and just grabbed this wine out of my cellar. This wine was drinking great, very full bodied with dark cherry, plum, and cassis. Also, a bit tobacco, cedar, licorice and leather all around. Everyone commented how great this was drinking. Got to find some more. — 25 days ago

Notes of Raspberry, stone fruit, and some light spice notes, very refreshing. Not a big Rose fan especially in the winter but went great with the apps a Zahav in Philly.
