Rhys Vineyards Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2021 Review
Rhys works to craft great wines from California's most interesting mountain vineyards. This Pinot Noir comes from a number of sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains, with vineyards located 400 to 1,610 feet above sea level. The wine is aged in oak for 18 months, introducing well-integrated notes of vanilla and spice to the wine. The palate has pops of chocolate covered cherries and red berry fruit. A deeply enjoyable Pinot to sip.
