2021 Clarice Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard

Lastly, the 2021 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is possibly slightly dark hued compared to the Rosella's and, as with all of these 2021s, was fermented with lots of whole clusters and brought up mostly in new barrels, although it shows almost zero oak influence. It's unquestionably the biggest and richest wine of the trio, with a touch more obvious stems in its smoky red and black fruits, black tea, spice, and nutty, meaty nuances that slowly give way to more violet, rose, and floral nuances with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, with a layered, broad, expansive mouthfeel, it has plenty of tannins, good acidity, and a great finish. While it's slightly softer than the Rosella's, it's also more concentrated. Give bottles a couple of years in the cellar, and like the Rosella's, it will evolve for 10-12 years.
