An inky deep red, the '11 Lucia Syrah 'Garys' Vineyard' caresses the nostrils with complex aromas of blackberry, espresso, lavender and spicy minerals. Flavors of sweet dark berry coat the palate with enough bracing minerality to keep things interesting. Finishes long, smooth and spicy sweet. — 12 years ago
2001: Amazing vitality for a 14 year old Pinot. Translucent ruby color that is slightly fading but not browning at all. Still some grip and acid. High toned red cherry aromas, cinnamon and a whif of wet forest floor. Drink now and over the next decade. — 11 years ago

I made this wine with my husband Jeff Pisoni... And our goal is to make Sauvignon Blanc to age... So after two years in bottle the wine is holding his promise (citrusy, focus, great acidity and focus mineralogy all in)... Waiting to taste it in 10 years from now! — 11 years ago

Fantastic wine from Paul Lato. Still very young, but has a nose reminiscent of a Pisoni pinot and a palate like a grand cru burgundy. Awesome nose of strawberry rhubarb preserve, a touch of smoke, and some high notes of tart cherries. Impeccable balance, great evolution on the palate, and a seamless finish. Will be several notches higher in a couple of years, but this is a great wine already. — 11 years ago
