An excellent Santa Cruz Mtn. producer. Huge value plucking their bottling’s on the secondary markets. I think I paid $35 for this one. You could push to 93 with the Bulgogi Pork. — 8 months ago

The wood is integrated but still a little one dimensional given the price tag. — 9 months ago

Garagiste mystery. Really happy about this one. Rhys, pax, Arnot roberts, and Jolie laide style. Olives, dark fruits, stewed tomato, rosemary. So freaking perfect with steak. Brightness of fruit and acidity seemed to improve with a few hours of air. Maybe blew off some reduction or funk? Love it. — a year ago

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. This was my #1 with that smoked meat:umami character that I love. Note: (@Delectable does not list it as such but it is Sonoma Coast) — 5 years ago

Lot going on here. Silky red berries with hints of leather and depth. Went down easy but wish it had a bit more of the latter — 9 months ago

An amazing vintage here. Nose is a bit funky out of the gates but wow once it gets going it’s all red cherries, sour cherries, and wild herbs. So so good. Really lifted. Palate is mega closed but my goodness rhys is super precise and focused. Like a laser. Unreal freshness and acidity and barely ripe sour cherry and early season cherry fruit. Insane velvety and sour/sweet tannins. Wine as sweet tart. This needs air. It’s got the bones but I will check back in an hour or two. Oh this is getting better but it’s gonna be slow. Angular and dense but so balanced. That Rhini structure abounds. — a year ago

We were so fortunate to have Jeff Brinkman, Rhys’ winemaker for the past 15 years, join our tasting of nine Rhys Syrahs from 2003 - 2013. Stew, smoke, meat, classic bret. I loved it, others not so much. — 5 years ago
