Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Rhys build their Pinot on cool ridgetop sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains, farming for low pH and high natural acidity, and this appellation bottling carries the house signature intact. Tight red cherry and cranberry over iron, crushed rock and a savoury forest-floor undertow, with fine tannins that need a few years to unwind. Medium-bodied, restrained in oak, and considerably more structured than the pale colour suggests.
