2014 Rhys Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard - USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains (3/29/2023)
Cold cellar works it’s magic yet again, as this is still quite youthful and forward fruity. It’s evolving texturally, but not a lot of developed aromatics/flavors. Bright red cherry dominates, with only a little bit of back end earthiness. Some air brings out an herbal note, but overall it’s fruit dominated. Very good wine, but I do wonder when something is going to happen. At least I know to keep my hands off of the Hillside bottling.
