96 Points — Wine Enthusiast: "Generous aromas of Bing cherry, roses and toasted fennel lead into a vibrant palate of cherry and lemon zest, complemented by herbs and elegant baking spices."

95 Points — Jeb Dunnuck:  "Considered the most in-your-face of the vineyards, as even the family will tell you, the Roar 2024 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is a huge-impact site of muscular intensity, with weight and pedigree, planted nearly all to the powerful Pisoni clone. Slatey, textural, and full-bodied, it exudes rich red berry and cherry fruit with spice components and focused, structured tannins, ending in notes of gravel and cola. Hold and drink 2028-2038.

"Garys' Vineyard

Garys' Vineyard was planted in 1997 as a partnership between two pioneering Santa Lucia Highlands grape-growing families, the Franscionis and Pisonis. The vineyard has become one of the appellation's benchmark sites for Pinot Noir.

ROAR describes Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir as a wine of refined richness that ages beautifully, with the vineyard producing a distinctive combination of ripe dark fruit and savory notes of leather, tobacco and cola.

The 2024 ROAR Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir captures that signature character with impressive concentration, structure and balance—a compelling expression of one of the Santa Lucia Highlands' most renowned Pinot Noir vineyards.

Highly allocated and produced in limited quantities.
