Gorgeous dense lean fruit. Very in place. Sophisticated. Polished dark plummy fruit with herbals and a good grout finish. Very well made.

WOTN for all of us even with the cork being a disaster. Firing beautifully with layers and layers of fruit, spice, and earth. Everything in its place. The waiter decanted into a kitchen quart tupperware for us, lol.

Slightly cloudy. Really pretty strawberry fruit. Call and blue notes. A little ink and salt. Good stuff.

Scarlet color, almost opaque. Fruity, stemmy nose. Notes of dark fruit, bing cherries, moist soil, herbs and spice. Vibrant in the mouth. Silky sweet fruit but not over the top. Nice balance and structure. Really good. If i was tasting this blind I could see someone steering me towards a young Dujac guess.

Will only improve with some aging. The Rhys wines just keep getting better every year!

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. I thought this was slightly lean but still good.

Wow! Tart dark red cherry. Opaque ruby color, still opening up.
