This was one of the best Rhys Pinots I’ve had so far. It was a bit more about the terroir than the fruit, but both were wonderfully balanced. Classic earthy forest floor and mushroom scents on the nose, along with muted dark red fruit were followed by elegant and understated herbal, ripe fruit, and warm spice flavors. Truly special….

Decant 45min: cherry, raspberry, some spice on the pour, still primary after 45min; ruby with faint rim; medium-bodied with light berries, vibrant mid-palate with fuissance, spice tinged finish; pairs nicely with pork loin

From a 375. Might have been able to make use of a bit more air, or a few more years in order to come out of its shell a bit, but quite lovely with a very sweet feel.

Nice pinot with mushroom notes and still supportive acidity

From 500ml. Good Rhys juice but muted overall. Everything I love about Horseshoe but just muffled a little bit. Hmm…
