Big Rhys fan. Brambly, dark fruit nose. Sweet berry fruit, drying tannin earthy mid palate, lingering dark fruit finish. All Rhys.

Beautiful wine with long silky finish. Notes of red cherry, cacao, violets. Medium body. It goes nicely on its own, but would go nicely with a meal as well. Would definitely get another bottle to enjoy again

A little more going on with the Porcupine Hill than the straight Bearwallow. More complex for sure. Still not as good as the Alpine and Horseshoe.
