Lovely freshness and spice in this one. Thanks to a few years of extra cellartime the abundant levels of fruit and sweetness have been toned down a notch. — 5 months ago

Strong on the nose. Rich, leathery tannins.
Black fruit, lots of good structure and a long chocolately finish. A gasoline note exists which is very inviting.
Juicy baby!
Characterizes the grape really well — 5 years ago

Hailing from Languedoc, this white has a similar profile to that of a Rhoné white blend. No idea of the blend, but the nose presents honey, apricot and dried herbs. The palate suggests that viognier is in the mix. Big notes of lychees and passion fruit are bold and strong, along with the oak, which I consider to be a little too prominent. Acidity is lacking, and this comes across a little too smooth. Still a good effort, just dial back on the oak treatment. — 6 years ago

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. The Horsehoe Vineyard in the Santa Cruz mountains is always a favorite and came in #2. — 5 years ago

Wow! Singing. Menthol, berries, hint of cream, herbs, cassis. I am influenced by drinking with the guy who made this wine while listening to him play songs from the album! Still excellent for an almost 20 year old wine. — 7 years ago

9.1

Pretty boring label guys. Farmer designed label. Lovely deep rose petal color. Smells of red-black berries, petrichor, and nice flower soap. Flavor is explosive classic Merlot. Granite, blackberries, cherries and bittering herbs. Streak of licorice and liquor. This would go with red meats like nobodies business. — 6 years ago
