"...it's a tour de force in Pinot Noir from California."
-Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
With a focus on California’s most unique and expressive plots of land, Rhys Vineyards has developed some of the most compelling and distinct Pinot Noir in the state. With vineyard sites located in a variety of geologically differing locations in both the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Anderson Valley, Rhys is able to provide a diverse range of cellar-worthy, single-vineyard Pinot Noir. The winery also prides themselves in minimal intervention in their viticultural and winemaking techniques so that their wines show an evidence of terroir and particular style.
Tasting Notes
- WA93
- Sporting a classic, cool-climate bouquet of blackberry, black raspberry, wood smoke, olive tapenade and gamy meats, with an almost Cornas-like bloodiness, the 2011 Syrah Skyline Vineyard hits the palate with a medium-bodied, supple, rounded, yet beautifully balanced profile. Nicely concentrated, with good mid-palate density, it has sweet tannin, integrated acidity and surprising persistence on the finish. It's drinking beautifully now, but I've no doubts it will evolve nicely over the coming decade.
