The 2008 Lucia Pinot Noir, Garys. Vineyard, is a very seductive wine. The color is darker than most of our previous Garys. cuvees.a result of the exceptionally tiny berries from the very windy weather conditions around fruit-set. The aromatics are bright expressions of raspberry, black cherry and forest floor. The palate is broad and leads into a long, silky finish. The tannins are gentle, velvety and supple, allowing this wine to be consumed sooner than more powerful vintages, such as 2007, which needs more cellar time to soften. ~Winemaker
