Lot #889. Rhys Pinot Noir Skyline Vineyard 2009

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94 AM.
"From Santa Cruz Mountains fruit that is planted to an incredible density of 7,000 vines per acre or the equivalent of 17,500 vines per ha; 12.6%. A reserved and notably cooler nose of crystalline purity offers up notes of spicy diverse red berry fruit aromas that complement to perfection the exceptionally elegant and refined medium weight flavors that are shaped and supported by very firm but ripe tannins, all wrapped in a dusty and stunningly long finish. This is a wine of harmony, indeed this strikes me as quite Zen-like as the structure is very fine grained." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, Oct 2011
Provenance: The Cornemuse Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $75
