  California at it's best. Not Burgundy, but it avoids the over extraction that robs Pinot Noir of it's essence.

  Belated note. Well balanced, pure pinot with good fruit blended nicely with subtle oak. Slightly sweet, but neither excessively so nor obviously new world. Very polished tannins. Easy to like and drink now. I wonder how this will mature as a couple of days after opening it hadn't really moved.

  Screams California, but very good California. No-one would confuse this with Burgundy (the Rhys model), but this is a wonderful wine that could never be produced in Burgundy. Enjoy it for what it is. Very well balanced.

  From Cherry, wild berries, rose to black tea, oriental spices. Bright acidity. little espresso after taste. This bottle is middle range of Rhys, but delicate and delicious enough. Recommend to drink on room temp, not too chill.
