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 96+ Points Robert Parker: "Maybe one of the greatest Pinot Noirs from the Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2013 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard offers sensational notes of cassis, black raspberries, crushed rocks, spice and dried flowers to go with a full-bodied, layered, supple and seamless style on the palate. Coming from the decomposed granite soils on the southern end of the appellation, fermented with 15% whole clusters and aged in 50-70% new French oak (of which there's no trace), drink this fabulous Pinot Noir anytime over the coming decade...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.

Very young but so much going on in the glass. Smoke and cooked cherries, big ripe mouthfeel. Delicious

The highlight of this wine is the silky smooth mouthfeel. The complexity and depth of the fruit adds to the allure. Great stuff.
