I tasted the Alesia Anderson Valley bottling of the same vintage a while back and was very impressed. This might be better, leaning more savory and mineral, with cooler mountain tension.

The fruit has mellowed with age into deeper red tones, framed by forest floor, crushed rock, and a subtle herbal edge. The palate remains lively with fresh acidity carrying the medium body with poise. A long, precise finish. — 14 days ago

Light gold color, a little nutty showing some age but with good acidity and minerality, it was showing very well but with ample life remaining. — 10 months ago

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. This was my #1 with that smoked meat:umami character that I love. Note: (@Delectable does not list it as such but it is Sonoma Coast) — 4 years ago

We were so fortunate to have Jeff Brinkman, Rhys’ winemaker for the past 15 years, join our tasting of nine Rhys Syrahs from 2003 - 2013. Loved this wine. Meat, smoke, umami. — 5 years ago

An excellent Santa Cruz Mtn. producer. Huge value plucking their bottling’s on the secondary markets. I think I paid $35 for this one. You could push to 93 with the Bulgogi Pork. — 4 months ago
