Started with match stick, earthy notes, and then opened up to dark fruit bramble.

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

Probably the biggest, most fruit forward, full bodied Pinot I’ve had from Rhys. Lots of dark fruit here. Tasty, but even with an hour or two of air, not yet well integrated. Wait at least a few years, drink the Bearwallows first.
