Slightly more firm and angular (which is common for this vineyard), the 2011 Syrah Garys’ Vineyard (100% Syrah, 50% whole cluster), which was harvest early in November, exhibits classic Garys’ notes of coffee bean, black fruits, green olives and wild herbs on the nose and palate. Medium to full-bodied, rich and textured, it should benefit from another year of bottle age and drink nicely for upwards of a decade. Drink 2014-2021. This estate is managed by the Pisoni Family, and high quality and realistic prices are the name of the game here. Year in, year out, these wines over-deliver. While 2011 was an extremely cool, long season, these wines have beautiful ripeness as well as clean, pure aromas and flavors. Tel. (800) 946.3130; www.luciavineyards.com
