95 points, Antonio Galloni's Vinous
"Vivid red. A highly seductive bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense, oak spices, potpourri and botanical herbs. Stains the palate with finely detailed Chambord, boysenberry, cherry-cola, lavender, vanilla and spicecake flavors that smoothly blend power and elegance. The floral and spice notes repeat strongly on an extremely long, finely etched finish that's framed by polished, even tannins. 57% new French Oak."

"Rich ruby color, toasty nose, racy acidity, lifted flavors of cherry and raspberry, elegant and pure."
94 points, International Wine Review
"High toned and lively, the Garys’ Vineyard Pinot Noir offers floral, darker cherry and spice notes on the nose. On the palate, it’s light on its feet and impressively clean and pure with a silky texture. Finishes with excellent persistence and rich extract."
93 points, Rusty Gaffney, The PinotFile
"Moderate garnet color in the glass. Nicely composed perfume with scents of cherry, red grape, red rose petal and peppery herbs. Light to mid-weight in style with a glorious charge of vivid, spicy black cherry fruit. Amazingly long in the mouth and on the generous finish. Very polished with enviable harmony. At this stage, the palate far exceeds the nose in allure."
92 points, Wine Spectator
"Offers rich acidity that backs an effusively juicy blend of red fruit and berry flavors. Displays a minerally verve and hints of underbrush on the firm, fine-grained finish. Drink now through 2026. 600 cases made."
92 points, Connoisseurs' Guide
"Making a fine aromatic start with a mid-density nose of fresh, ripe cherries and raspberries accented with hints of dried flowers and following with complete, slightly juicy flavors of the same that gradually deepen and expand from their youthfully tight beginnings, this is a Pinot that trades less on heady richness than it does on brightness and fruity energy. It is, by no means, a light wine, but neither is it big and burly stuff, and its vitality and integral, well-managed tannins bode well for five-plus years of age."
92 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2019 Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard has a pale ruby-purple color and bright raspberry perfume with nuances of potpourri, blood orange and bitters. The palate is medium-bodied, chalky and refreshing with a detailed core of fruit and long, spicy finish."
92 points, Wine Enthusiast
"Candied cherry and currant meet with wet slate on the nose of this bottling from an iconic vineyard. There’s a firm grip to the sip, where sandalwood offsets the plush cherry and berry flavors."
