3/25/2024 - Wine12345 Likes this wine: 91 pointsTantalizing dark red color. Although labeled as a “Red Wine,” this vintage is actually 85% Cabernet Sauvignon (including grapes from Heart of the Hill vineyard). Very nice wine, especially for the price.

The first bottle was fantastic- slow to open but followed by blackberry, cassis, and hints of licorice and tobacco, smooth tannins and nice acidity, with a delicious finish and perfect balance overall. One the best bordeaux that I have had in years.

Some of the greener vegetal notes smoothed out revealing blue-black fruit. Actually verging jammy, with which the rich dinner of leek-potato gratin with smoked oysters and Dungeness crab oddly paired quite well.

1/2/2024 - brh_wine Likes this wine: NRFirst taste of this collection. Maturing nicely. One person noted a bit of tar in the mouth but this blew off. Nose had muted merlot notes. Some moderate tannins in mouth and generally kept developing and opening up over 45 minutes. Should have a good future.

12/12/2023 - Charlie Carnes wrote: 82 pointsThis was incredibly disappointing. I was overwhelmed by a wood imbued, vanilla oak component. I had to do a double take on the bottle to make sure somebody didn’t slip a modern Bordeaux, or Laurent styled Burgundy in on me. There was pretty, red, fruit down there, somewhere, but I couldn’t get around the sweet, vanilla, creamy, oak, thing going on. This was unlike any Rhys wine I’ve had before.

11/17/2023 - SirFred wrote: NRDrank on several prior occasions. Not feeling it tonight, but want to share a few thoughts. I don’t think this is worthy of a 98 point score, as James suckling awarded it. I have enjoyed this wine on several occasions over the past few years, but today I found it quite opulent without much complexity and not enough acidity to keep it lively. New world I suppose, but lacking charm, refinement, cut, and vibrancy. Also a bit oaky on this night. I am not scoring it, because I did not spend enough time or interest on it to give it a fair evaluation, but I would like to point out, that for twenty bucks, this is quite good value. I just don’t think this is worthy of some of the high scores it received. However, it is better than most chardonnay’s at this price range, and has consistently been so in all of the vintages I have tasted, which is a credit to the Catena-based Winery. Best with salmon or shellfish, and can certainly hold for a handful of years.

11/2/2023 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 93 pointsOnce again, I brought this wine to an Indian restaurant with my wine group, and again it was a hit. This was a Garagiste Mystery Wine Home Run!! My 3rd of 4 bottles and they have been consistent from bottle to bottle.

6/9/2013 - TheDarkPrince Does not like this wine: 80 pointsTasted last night with family and friends. Five of us in total. Although Mum enjoyed the bouquet, likening it to freshly cut flowers, It was the one wine that everybody avoided. Consistent with my tasting from around three weeks ago. This wine bears no resemblance to the varietal from which it claims to come from.

3/23/2023 - mathwonk wrote: NRpnp. wow. i hope this improves after some more time. at present, maybe 30 minutes after opening, it is essentially undrinkably sour tea, in my obviously ignorant view. lots of bitter tobacco like flavors but no grape or fruit flavors, and no sweetness. i will try the 2015 next time, which i recall very differently. maybe this will improve in 5 years, but i will not be there waiting.
