Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 20, 2017 - Horizontal tasting of Rhys 2013 Pinots from 375ml - Alpine, Family Farm, Horseshoe, and Bearwallow. All tasted over two days. All of them were of high quality and young, drinkable and showed well except the Bearwallow that was shut down. None of them was very expressive on the nose, but all pleasant. To me - Alpine was the distinguished uncle, Family Farm the serious aunt, Horseshoe the brash cousin, and Bearwallow the shy adolescent niece.
#1 - Alpine: red fruited, earthy, spicy, great concentration, light, very good depth and a fantastic long savory finish. Excellent.
#2 - Family Farm: red berries, earth, deep and serious. Excellent finish. Excellent.
#3 - Horseshoe: felt much riper, raspberries, cranberries, cola. Medium finish. Good+.
#4 - Bearwallow: closed tight. Flavor profile on the Cali side, cranberries, cola. Judgement reserved.
