Community Tasting Note

  • t_moderne wrote: 90 points

    April 15, 2013 - Pop and pour and followed for three hours, without food, unless you count Wheat Thin crackers as food. The re-corked, chilled, and tasted the following day. This has the Rhys signature nose and flavor profile. A savory and crisp Pinot. Some herbal elements (whole cluster) and fresh crushed raspberries. A hint of mint and basil mixed in. This has a lively flavor, some tartness, with the fresh fruit. Light in weight but there is good flavor, leaning to the savory side of the spectrum.

I think many of the Pinots have that element. On day two, that crunchy element subsides a bit and the savory herbal element shows a bit more.
