Still dense and grippy but unwinds a bit with air. Pleasing whole cluster astringency on the finish. Always a treat to drink Rhys with age

A tasting of nine Rhys Pinot Noirs from the 2008 & 2009 vintages. Jeff Brinkman, Rhys winemaker joined our group. Alcohol was more pronounced on this one

First Skyline bottling and it lived up to the hype. Complex and beautiful and built for age.

Slight abrasive finish, dried figs and cranberries...hint of cooked fruits. But still a very interesting wine to try!

Not as lush as the 2010, but still impressive.

Jun 5th, 2014The most open of the Skylines at first, explosively aromatic, complex, but with tons of structure. Revelatory.

Sooo sappy. Sooo minerally. More of that basil/tomato leaf thing. Fresh.
