Rhys Vineyards Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard - 2008 (750ml) Cote de Nuits blackberries and black currants areVivid medium red. Fresh, complex nose melds musky raspberry, blood orange, smoky minerality, brown spices, mocha and underbrush. Firm, gripping and almost weightless but packed with red fruit flavors, picking up a bitter cherry pit quality with air. Finishes very long, sweet and perfumed, with fine grained tannins and notes of singed orange and Asian spices. Pretty impressive and complex already.
