Excellent sniffing wine. Light to medium bodied palate with elegant strawberries and tart raspberries and vanilla rhubarb. Really enjoyable after a couple hours decant.

2012 Family Farm. Still in the late stages of primary. Beautiful light body, but dark color. Rich fruit compote flavors, heavy on the black cherry and some cigar box notes. Finishes with a hint of orange peel. Still lots of life left here.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard is beautifully lifted and precise. Bright red berry fruit and floral notes are nicely layered in a Pinot that speaks to understatement and class. In this range, the Family Farm stands out for its crystalline precision and nuance. All the elements are simply in the right place. The 2016 was done with 15% stems, the least Rhys has used for the Family Farm. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018)

Clean but not crisp. Deep but not complex. Integrated but still oaky.
