Rhys Vineyards was founded in 2004 and in a remarkably short space of time has become a benchmark producer of compelling terroir driven Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah from sustainably farmed vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The Alpine Vineyard sits on a rocky perch looking out to the Pacific Ocean which is only 10 miles away and the Hillside Selection is produced from its steepest and lowest yielding section and is only released in optimal vintages. The 2013 is effortless, gorgeously textured Pinot Noir with wonderful notes of dark fruits, wild herbs and earth.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard Hillside is endowed with a real sense of vertical lift. Beams of tannin give the 2013 much of its energy and overall tension. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, graphite, mint, lavender and spices are all super-expressive, with considerable aromatic intensity added by the inclusion of 100% whole clusters. This powerful yet sleek Pinot won't be ready to drink for a number of years, but it is compelling, even today. Antonio Galloni1st July 2015
