Rhys Vineyards Bearwallow Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, USA 2017 Rhone Blend opening out to reveal notes

opening out to reveal notes of baked black cherries

Beautiful aromas of plums and filtered coffee follow through to a full body

while the Syrah adds a smooth

violet and ripe forest berry waft out of the glass along with a whiff of leather on this stellar red

Rhys Vineyards Bearwallow Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, USA 2017 Rhone Blend opening out to reveal notesPale to medium ruby purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard has a slowly opening nose of dried rose petal and violet, charcuterie, peppercorn, warm red cherries, dried herbs, dusty earth, bergamot and warm blackberries. It's light to medium bodied with a silky texture and intense, spicy, earth accented fruits, framed by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing very long and very spicy. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
