Soft and spicy morello cherry, woodsy tones, cola. Full flavored but not complex, might develop a bit with some more time

My first Rhys. Soft and subdued. There's nice fruit here and good length, but this comes across as quite straightforward and lacking in depth and complexity.

Generous and voluptuous dark Anderson fruit - black plum, dark cherry, ripe blackberry.

I don't know. this didn't wow me. Maybe had it in a dumb phase but just a bit heavy and flat to me. Wanted to really like it. Maybe just the vintage.

Really good. It's fun to drink and flexible with food.

From a select portion of the Bearwallow Vineyard. Flavor profile is exactly the same, but shows a touch more depth and richness.

We're drinking Rhys way too young tonight for educational purposes. 24hr slow ox and drinking along side the Porcupine Hill. Has great dark fruit, green notes, and spice at this stage.

Friday night porch drinkin’. Cork came out easily. Slight bricking. Tannins resolving. Raspberries, light cola, smoke. Tasty.

Cherry cola, blackberry bramble, med acidity, grainy tannin, somewhat disjointed. Not my favorite Rhys 🤷‍♂️
