2013 Kosta Browne Gary's Vineyard Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands

(91 points)  --  (Wine Advocate)

"One of the more tight and backwards efforts from this vineyard, the 2013 Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard was mostly destemmed (19% whole clusters) and aged 16 months in 46% new French oak. Medium-bodied, focused and downright racy on the palate, it still has some whole cluster notes in its sappy spring flowers, cassis and black raspberry-scented bouquet. It’s a beautiful wine, but needs 2-3 years of cellaring." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
