Still very young and the oak needs to burn off in big way. Blue and black fruit, coffee, black soil rocks. — 19 days ago

Nice, cool-climate California Pinot Noir. Good red and dark fruits on the palate. I served it a bit too cold, but as it warmed up, the earthiness that this wine is known for came through. I don’t love California Pinot, but Rhys almost always impresses me. — 4 months ago

This wine was awesome! It sang like the person in the opera of the Olympics closing ceremony. On all cylinders. Layers of beautiful bright dark blue and red fruit flavors carried by very present but super silky tannins that gave it ‘stop-in-your-track’ intensity. All in beautiful harmony. — 3 months ago
