“The Comrade”

A devoted extrovert, Pisoni is rich and forward, with enveloping layers of black cherry, forest floor, and spice. Intense yet always balanced, its power and complexity deepen with time, much like the friendship of the two Garys.

Pisoni Vineyard

Pisoni Vineyard is meticulously farmed by the Pisoni family across rugged terrain and thin soils of granite and gravelly loam, threaded with schist and quartz. Naturally low yields and tiny clusters produce wines with remarkable depth, concentration, and intensity.
