“Leather, tobacco, and cola in a dense, masculine cloak of ripe dark berries make one imagine sipping this in an old 19th-century library. This wine has a refined richness that stands out, and ages beautifully.” Tasting notes from the winery

Wine Profile
“The Roar Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard comes all from the Pisoni and Calera clones and saw 54% new French oak. Another complex, Burgundian-style release from this team, it offers notes of wild strawberries, cured meats, iodine, and damp earth, with more violet and floral notes developing with time in the glass. Beautifully layered, pure, and silky on the palate, with polished tannins, it shows the class of this great vintage and is going to drink brilliantly for at least a decade.” Jeb Dunnuck's tasting notes from the 2020 vintage. 2021 vintage tasting notes TBA.
