"...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
- WA95
- Coming from a single parcel of high density vines in the Bearwallow Vineyard in Anderson Valley, the 2013 Pinot Noir Porcupine Hill knocks it out of the park with it intensity and depth. Giving up fabulous black raspberry, dried rose petal, violets and spice/incense, it's pure class on the palate and has an ethereal texture, perfect balance and a great finish. While distinctly different from the Santa Cruz Mountain releases, it's at the same quality level.
