ROAR makes some of the best and hardest to get new Pinot Noirs in California. The Rosella's Vineyard is a rare Pinot sold out at the winery. previous vintage 93+ Points Robert Parker: "More perfumed and lively, the Pinot Noir Rosella’s Vineyard has knockout aromas of black cherry, citrus, crushed stone and assorted floral nuances to go with a medium-bodied, balanced and deliciously textured mouthfeel that building in richness and depth with air. Finely polished tannin frame the finish and this beauty will benefit from another year or two in the cellar and drink nicely through 2021. Drink now-2021. ...A top producer in the Santa Lucia Highlands, Roar is run by Gary and Rosella Franscioni, with the wines now made by Scott Shapley as of the 2013 vintage (they were previously made by Ed Kurtzman). This is fantastic lineup of Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Roar is owned by Gary & Rosella Franscioni, who planted and own the famed Rosella's Vineyard, Gary's Vineyard and Pisoni Vineyard in California's Central Coast.
