The Winery

Rhys

"...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

WA94
Coming from Anderson Valley in California`s North Coast, the 2012 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard is distinctly different than the Santa Cruz Mountain releases. Full, layered and supple, with possibly more mid-palate flesh than the slightly more racy 2012s from further south, this beauty gives up lovely notes of passion fruits, wild herbs (thyme, rosemary, lavender), eucalyptus and spice. Medium to full-bodied, layered and multi-dimensional on the palate, with a brilliant texture, this impeccably balanced beauty will age gracefully for another decade or more.
