2007 Rhys Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard (USA, California, San Francisco Bay, San Mateo County)


Consumed over the course of two nights. Interesting wine that spans the bridge between old world and new world style. The new world part of this is the rather sweet fruit and polished tannins. I wouldn't say that it's cotton candy, but there are definitely shades of brown sugar flavors in the fruit. The old world part of the wine is its ample acidity, stern backbone, and focus of fruit. All in all, a good wine, but I don't think it's great. Probably worth the price on the mailing list, but likely not the price in the secondary market.
