Jammier than most cabs, with a bit of spice at the end. (Personal note: this is the one from Jannene’s dinner at Jeff Ruby’s.) — a month ago

The 2021 Pinot Noir is outrageously beautiful. A vivid, sweeping wine, the 2021 captures all the best qualities of this rugged site. Blue/black fruit, cloves, licorice, menthol, lavender and chocolate all build effortlessly, amplified by the wine's natural intensity and volume. The 2021 is a big, rich wine, but it is also not overdone in any way. Jeff and Mark Pisoni blend their estate Pinot using blocks from the five main soil types found across the property. This is quintessential Pisoni. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2023)

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. This was the second Horseshoe Vineyard (Santa Cruz), a 2008. I found it less interesting than the others. — 3 years ago

I’m a fan of these wines. I’ve not bought in a while as I lost track of them but did manage to get a couple when I saw they had a store in Healdsburg. Back then he was making it seemed like every varietal possible. This one was always a favorite and is still going strong. No rush — 5 months ago
