Lucia by Pisoni 2018 Garys' Vineyard Pinot Noir

This wine opens with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate layered with subtle notes of rose petal, baking spice, and forest floor. On the palate, it delivers concentrated red fruit flavors balanced by vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins, with hints of clove and earthy minerality that reflect the vineyard’s unique terroir. The texture is silky yet structured, leading to a long, graceful finish. Its complexity makes it a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with dishes such as roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, mushroom risotto, cedar-planked salmon, or even earthy vegetarian fare like lentil stew and roasted root vegetables. The wine’s balance of fruit and savory elements also complements charcuterie and aged cheeses, making it equally suited for refined dining or more casual gatherings.
