First pass at an aged Rhys. Fun. Some barnyard going on here. Not fruit forward. Not a Syrah disguised as a Pinot Noir.

Declassified Family Farm Vineyard juice from the higher end Rhys lineup. Not sure why it was declassified, because this is pretty great stuff.

Bright juicy red fruit with a little tomato skin and spice, it picks up intensity through the middle with fine tannin and a hint of tart acidity primes the mouth for another sip. This is a really pretty wine in its prime time, almost irresistible.

This declassified juice is delicious. Tastes like its in a sweet spot with a good amount of life left. Dark cherries and earth and juicy medium bodied.

Delicious 9 year-old Pinot Noir, fleshy with strawberries and spice. Second label from Rhy's Cellars.

Drinking nicely. Sour cherry nose, a little earth. Mushrooms and sweet red fruit on the palate, soft but noticeable tannin, good acidity knits it all together.
