ROAR makes some of the best and hardest to get new Pinot Noirs in California. Get the new release BEFORE the ratings come out! previous vintage 95 Points Robert Parker: "The Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard is drop dead gorgeous. Elegant and seamless with vibrant Pinot Noir fruit, spring flowers, strawberries and spice, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an utterly seamless, silky texture, beautifully integrated acidity and a killer finish. This is Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands at its finest; it has beautiful flavor authority and depth, yet is always elegant, graceful and lively. I'd drink this gorgeous wine over the coming 5-6 years, but I'm sure it will evolve for longer....readers wanting to taste some of the best wines coming out of the Santa Lucia Highlands need to get on this estate's bandwagon." 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.

A fantastic blend of fruit, spice, and that special Santa Lucia Highlands something. It's a terrific wine and I can't wait to see what some age will do to this.
