2011 Rhys Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard

San Mateo County more

8/5/2017 - MattMauldin Likes this wine: 93 points

Clear, medium ruby color. Sappy fig & pomegranate fruit aromas along with piney earth, saffron & paprika spice, dried hibiscus and hints of allspice. Succulent fruit on the palate, darkening with air toward braised fig. Secondary savory and sweet spice notes, and hints of violet and iron. Finesse-driven but with heft, silky throughout. Tangy acidity, fine medium tannins, long finish. Drinking very well, plenty of room for secondary development.

Clear, pale lemon color. Expressive primary, secondary and mineral-driven aromas- lime juice, melon, slate, oyster shell, elder flower and allspice. Succulent on the palate- tangy citrus and melon fruit, round and fleshy, with subtle secondary layers consistent with the nose, adding mineral and white pepper complexity with air. Racy acidity, silky in texture, with persistence on the finish. Primary now, well built for bottle age. Very nice.
