Notes

In keeping with the Rhys philosophy of site specific wines, the Anderson Valley pinot is sourced entirely from the Bearwallow vineyard, situated at the cool end of the Anderson Valley, presented in an early drinking and enormously alluring package. Displaying textbook Bearwallow characteristics of bright fruit and finely spiced minerality in a poised, elegant and silky package. For all the sweet fruit this is never cloying or faux, the purity of fruit combining with fresh minerality to make it highly interesting, but also very moreish.

Notes

The 2014 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley) is a new wine from Rhys made from 100% estate fruit from Bearwallow. A preference for fully destemmed fruit gives the 2014 lovely up-front intensity and more early appeal than most of the Rhys Pinots, which is a big plus for consumers. With time in the glass, the wine gains in fleshiness and succulence. Think of the Anderson Valley Pinot like a village-level wine from a top Burgundy domaine. It is the hidden gem in the Rhys lineup.
