"The 2024 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is floral and effusive right out of the gate. Crushed flowers, white pepper, bright red-toned fruit and chalk confer lovely aromatic top notes. This mid-weight, nervy Pinot is all charm. The 2024 shows Sean Capiaux's transition to a more vibrant style relative to what was once the norm here."

"Smooth and silky with an earthy underbrush of spice, the 2023 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is impressively textured and darkly colored, full-bodied and rich in berry fruit and damp earth. Nicely structured, the tannins are soft and supple and will support a long drinking window now through 2033."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Garys, Vineyard is bright, punchy and super-expressive. Lively acids drive through a core of red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, spice and crushed rocks. This shows terrific energy and cut. Sean Capiaux gave this fruit a bit more time on the skins in 2023."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Garys™ Vineyard is round, succulent and super-expressive, with all the elements very nicely in balance. Juicy red cherry/plum fruit, rose petals, mint and blood orange all meld together in this sensual, inviting Pinot Noir."
