Rhys Family Farm Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007

"Under the flagship Rhys moniker, the Rhys 2007 Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard looks to be a brilliant Pinot Noir from clay/loamy soils and sandstone. This Pinot exhibits intense red cherry and black raspberry fruit intermixed with some damp earth and forest floor notes. The wine is medium to full-bodied, elegant, pure, and just hinting at its ultimate potential. Backward, with an attractive acid profile, and sweet, noble tannin, this wine should hit its peak in about 3 years and last for at least a decade. Range: 90-93"

The Wine Advocate

"Deep red. Ripe cherry and dark berries on the nose, with dried rose and black cardamom notes gaining power with air. Deeply concentrated cherry and dark berry flavors are surprisingly nervy and focused, with a sweet floral pastille quality lending complexity. The finish is spicy, focused and very persistent, leaving sweet cherry preserve notes behind."

International Wine Cellar

"A floral, pure and ultra elegant nose of freshly crushed red berry fruit aromas merge into delicious, ripe and admirably concentrated medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mouth feel on the mid-palate but tighten up considerably on the firm, mouth coating and moderately austere finish that is balanced and lingering. Most impressive and this could surprise to the upside."
