Rich cherry fruit and plasticine. Slightly candied fruit. A touch of cola and intense and long.

Concentrated, crunchy red fruits, balanced, lots of life left.

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. The Horsehoe Vineyard in the Santa Cruz mountains is always a favorite and came in #2.

Moving on to a Rhys for our Thanksgiving lineup. Popped the cork this morning and it seems to have really helped this along today. A nose of Sandalwood, cherries, spice...so nice. Very well balanced in acid/red fruit with a little herbal note. Maybe a slight tannic frame. Glad to have several more of these cuz I think a few more years of age and look out.

Pleasant nose definitely enhances the experience of this one. A bit of a dark red fruited and stemmy showing. Doesn’t quite deliver on the QPR but enjoyable nonetheless.

White rose petal and green stems on the bouquet. Seems like this could have been whole cluster fermentation. Sweet red fruits, strawberry jam, nice pure finish. Modern style done right. This bottle, 2 bottles Sandlands, a rose' and a Dirty and Rowdy white blend all provided by fan favorite @Steve Anderson at Lamb Fest hosted by @Dan Blackwell the hobbling host with the most. Nice way to kick off summer.

Rhys Horseshoe Pinot. Light on it's feet but complex. A beautiful expression of terroir.

No Brett. Very nice bottle. Love the team at Rhys, Kevin and Jeff are doing great things. Santa Cruz Mountains deserves more Pinot attention.

Posted this bottle before. All I’ll say is how well it’s aged. This isn’t going anywhere yet I can’t resist drinking it at this stage.
