Very, very good. I think this has a long life. — 2 months 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. — 11 days ago
I tasted the Alesia Anderson Valley bottling of the same vintage a while back and was very impressed. This might be better, leaning more savory and mineral, with cooler mountain tension.
The fruit has mellowed with age into deeper red tones, framed by forest floor, crushed rock, and a subtle herbal edge. The palate remains lively with fresh acidity carrying the medium body with poise. A long, precise finish. — a month 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 — 2 months ago

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.
