A stunning, Burgundian-styled Pinot Noir, this 2005 Garys’ Vineyard boasts earthy, spicy, clove, and Allspice characteristics intermixed with notions of black cherries and forest floor. This full-bodied effort is a dead-ringer for a grand cru Burgundy from Morey St.-Denis or Gevrey-Chambertin. A beautiful sweet cherry earthiness and modest alcohol content (for California) of 14.6% suggest this brilliant 2005 should be consumed over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 815-3191; Fax (707) 965-0116
