Garys' Vineyard
Est. 1997
Established on a handshake between two lifelong friends, Garys’ Vineyard was planted in 1997 and quickly rose to fame as a desirable source for quality Pinot Noir. This vineyard exemplifies the enduring friendship and farming partnership between Gary Pisoni and Gary Franscioni. Standing at the foot of the vineyard, the fifty acres of rows progress in a “V” shape over the rocky soil. Garys’ Vineyard is often called “modest and mighty” — acreage comprised of a single alluvial fan whose slope is “elegant rather than dramatic or extreme”. The consistent grade of the land encourages invariably great concentration. Planted completely to Pinot Noir, Garys’ Vineyard is known for bold, spicy aromatics and rich berry flavors that only improve over time.
