Rhys Vineyards Horseshoe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013
Planted in 2004 with a total of 17.5 acres, Horseshoe Ranch is our most beautiful vineyard site. It is less than 1/2 mile from Alpine vineyard, but they are different in many ways. The ridge between the vineyards protects Horseshoe from some of the direct ocean influence but allows for similarly cool temperatures. More importantly, Horseshoe lies on a ridge of sedimentary shale called Monterey formation that has made its way to surface over the millenia. This lightweight, brittle rust-mottled shale is prevalent throughout the surface and soil providing for low vigor and outstanding drainage.

Bright cherry, Asian spice, orange rind, and granite minerality. Firm tannins and plenty of acid will allow this one to develop for years!

Plenty of secondary notes at 11 years of age. Drink up if you have them.

Cherry cola, bark. Great intensity but still a relatively light bodied wine

The nose alone is worth the price of admission. What a beautiful and graceful wine! I feel it can even get better over the next year or two.

Lots of depth to the nose: strawberry preserves, soy, anise, dried flowers. Nice acidity, fruit, mouthfeel, tannins and texture. My preference is for a touch less ripeness and more elegance but this is full of character and complexity!
