Lot #945. Rhys Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard 2014

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94+ JG.
"The 2014 Skyline Vineyard pinot noir is amazingly aromatic for its youth, with all sorts of exotic spice and herb tones wafting from the glass to augment gorgeous fruit and a profound base of soil. The bouquet is flat out stunning, offering up a complex and exotic nose of black cherries, plums, sarsaparilla, just marvelous soil tones, a potpourri of sweet herb tones and a topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with a serious chassis of ripe tannin, bright acids and excellent focus and grip on the very long, and very young finish. This is still a young and adolescent wine that needs some extended cellaring, but it is going to be sex appeal personified when it is ready to go. If there has ever been a more exotic Rhys Skyline pinot noir, I would love to taste it!" John Gilman, View From the Cellar, Jul/Aug 2016, Issue #64
Provenance: The Jupiter Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
