The 2022 Roar Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is a California red wine from the Santa Lucia Highlands sub-appellation in Monterey, part of the Central Coast region. Produced by Roar, this vintage comes with a cork closure and presents with a medium ruby-purple hue.

Wine Spectator awarded this Pinot Noir a score of 93, describing it as having "a wave of juicy boysenberry and mulberry fruit" that is complemented by "singed anise, sweet tobacco and fruitcake notes." The review noted its appeal to those who favor "the big fruit style," recommending it be enjoyed now through 2030.

Wine Enthusiast gave this wine a stellar review with a score of 97. Matt Kettmann highlighted the vineyard's historical significance, being named after the region's pioneering duo, Gary Pisoni and Gary Franscioni. Kettmann praised the blend of "umami-focused hints of soy, shiitake and smoke with fresh fruit and flower scents" in the aroma. The palate, he noted, is "solidly chalky in texture" with "Bing cherry and pure blackberry flavors cut by a steady acidity."

The Wine Independent also provided a strong review, giving it a score of 94. Lisa Perrotti-Brown described the wine as "medium ruby-purple in color" and noted its "eager-to-please scents of black cherry compote and juicy blackberries." She also identified "hints of spice cake, fallen leaves, and tilled soil" in the aroma. The palate was described as "medium to full-bodied" with "black and red berry layers framed by velvety tannins and just enough freshness," concluding with a "long and spicy" finish.

Overall, the 2022 Roar Pinot Noir Garys' Vineyard is a well-regarded choice for those who enjoy complex, fruit-forward Pinot Noirs with a touch of spiciness and depth. The excellent reviews from Wine Enthusiast and strong scores from Wine Spectator and The Wine Independent underscore its quality and appeal.
