Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 8, 2010 - Much better than the other Rhys I had a few days ago. For California Pinot, this had real refinement, verve, finesse, and elegance. But it certainly also has plenty of fruit, and a stern structure that suggests extended aging ability. It is more red fruited than black fruited and shows some decent earth and minerality. It seems unapologetically Californian with a nod to Burgundy. It does fall slightly short in the complexity department though, for me, and it doesn't blow me away or gives me the idea it is a game changer. I really have to question the QPR value of this wine.
