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. — 2 months ago
Same as before. Just like SCM fruit better. But love the half bottles so will still be a buyer! — 17 days ago
This one had signs of seepage on it so I opened it planning on throwing it out. What an amazing wine and so fresh! Maybe another bottle seeped on to this one? — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Complex on the nose, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and soft.
Showing cherries, plums, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, black pepper, chocolates, light vegetables, Indian spices, licorice and black tea.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 13 year old Pinot Noir from Santa Cruz Mountains in California. Drinking beautifully now, elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and soft. Complex with a nice mouthfeel.
This Single Vineyard Pinot Noir, from the great 2013 vintage, is drinking at its peak now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too. Loved the low alcohol level too.
12.8% alcohol by volume.

Ungrafted vines. Delicious — 18 days ago

Started a bit closed but then opened up and revealed nice dark fruit and some forest floor. Definitely can wait longer. With Mikey G on NYE — 3 months ago

Great fruit notes of baked apple, citrus, pear and apricot. Creamy lemon curd mixed with light sprinkles of spice (ginger, yellow curry, vanilla and green tea) on the midpalate. Lovely acidic veins in the not too long but very juicy and satisfying finish.
Very nice! — 9 days ago
