My #1 of the night. Loved the nose and the wine. Best expression of Pisoni that I’ve had to date.

Decided to dip into the depths of the cellar and pick out something we’ve not had in a long time. Gary’s first vintage of the Estate pinot is 1998, but the 2003 is the one we had when we first met him in 2005. This wine is absolutely fantastic. Great fruit on the nose with hints of candied cranberries, the balance and depth of this wine is incredible. Easily one of the best California pinots I’ve ever had, this wine is the counter-argument to anyone who says a CA pinot can’t age well. Absolutely brilliant.

Holy moly! Tastes like a 2014 but it’s 14 years old!! Blueberry. Spectacular! There’s still fruit, a little earthy. Wow!
