2012 Rhys Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard 93 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
Tight, but great concentration and well-balanced tannic and acidic structure, it will be special.

Flight 3 (3 Notes)
2010 Rhys Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard 92 Points
USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley
Exuberant fruit and spice to begin with, but the structure comes out with air. Very nice, but plenty of life left.

2011 Rhys Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard 90 Points
USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley
The leanest of the Bearwallows, with plenty of nerve. It can use a few more years, but is improved by food.

Flight 4 (4 Notes)
2006 Rhys Pinot Noir Swan Terrace 94 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
A little menthol, great purity, terrific concentration, similar to the 2006 Alpine but with more of everything.

2007 Rhys Pinot Noir Swan Terrace 94 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
The darkest of the 2006-2008 flight. It is a baby, but air brought out a tomato leaf aroma and great concentration wound tightly around a structured core. Swap tomato skin for spice and it reminds me a lot of the 1998 Dujac Clos St. Denis at a similar age. Outstanding.

2008 Rhys Pinot Noir Swan Terrace 94 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
Add a little more concentration and baby fat to the 2006 and this is what you get.

2009 Rhys Pinot Noir Swan Terrace 95 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
Add a little concentration and baby fat to the 2007, make the fruit a little more lush, and this is what you get.

Flight 5 (3 Notes)
2007 Rhys Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard 95 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
Takes the complexity to another level from the Swans, but it still needs a lot of time to show all it has.

2010 Rhys Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard 96 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
The most open of the Skylines at first, explosively aromatic, complex, but with tons of structure. Revelatory.

2011 Rhys Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard 92 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
Not as lush as the 2010, but still impressive.

2004 Rhys Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains 89 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
Showing its age with some nuttiness, but not at all over the hill, with plenty of acid. Clearly California, but in a good way.

2008 Rhys Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard 91 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
A little subdued right now, but as it opened with some air, I think it just needs more time.

2010 Rhys Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard 92 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
A little more apparent wood than the other Chardonnays, but with plenty of complexity to keep it from getting out of hand. A great California Chardonnay.
