Description
Pinot Noir 2010, Garys' Vineyard
Winemaker's Notes: "The 2010 Gary's Vireyards has cranberries, currants, sage, maraschino cherry, hibiscus flower, cream soda and brown sugar aromas that abound from the glass in this powerfully aramatic wine. Warm raspbery pie, pomegradnate, assai berry and bright cherry flavors intertwine with spicy sweet vanilla oak and silky tannins that coat the mouth with a full and long finish." 100% from the famed "Pisoni" suitase clone. 294 cases

Special Instructions
The key to wine quality is superior grapes; therefore Capiaux Cellars only produces wines from judiciously selected vineyards. All the vineyards that we purchase grapes from are contracted on a "by-the-acre" rather than a "per-ton" basis. We pay a set fee for the acreage guarantying the grower cash for his crop regardless of the tonnage. This allows us to prune, shoot-thin and drop crop as we see fit.
Garys¿ Vineyard
(1.45 acres contracted)
Following in the success of its parent vineyard, Pisoni, located just eight miles North in the Santa Lucia Highlands this vineyard is a partnership between Gary Pisoni, of Pisoni Vineyard, and Gary Franscioni. The bud wood for Garys' vineyard came from the Pisoni vineyard, which came from the famous "La Tache" vineyard in Burgundy. This is a younger vineyard that continues to improve with age.
