Rhys Vineyards, Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard, 2015
One of the first California producers to make hardcore Burgundy lovers sit up straight, not by imitating Burgundy but by chasing the same elegance and terroir through mountain farming: steep Santa Cruz Mountains slopes, cold Pacific air, very low yields, and a fixation on rock and exposure. Family Farm is one of Rhys's lower-elevation estate sites (about 400 feet) on alluvial sand and clay, giving a powerful, floral, long-lived Pinot. This 2015 carries a decade of bottle age and is drinking in a generous, resolved phase while keeping its mountain energy. A connoisseur's California Pinot. Decant to bring it fully alive.
