Score 93/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Oct 2025

The largest scaled of the Santa Lucia Highland releases, the 2015 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is another beautiful, elegant wine (that’s the style of the vintage) from this team that still has plenty of fruit. Offering lots of spice, framboise, dried flowers, scrub brush, and earth, it's elegant and silky on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness and a great mid-palate. Made with roughly 25% whole clusters, it's a terrific expression of this site to drink over the coming 7-8 years.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is the most expressive of the Santa Lucia Highlands Pinots. Racy red-toned fruit, orange peel and attractive aromatic lift from the whole clusters give the wine its distinctive personality. Silky and aromatic, the 2015 has a lot to offer. A dollop of whole clusters (20%) adds aromatic nuance throughout.
