Rhys, Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions This tightly wound and tautly

This tightly wound and tautly muscular effort should be wonderful in due time though note well that this will require every bit of 15 years of cellar time

richer and denser than those of the Champeaux but ultimately less complex and not quite as deep on the backend

This is very good and should amply reward mid-term cellaring

At least some patience advised

Medium/full bodied

Rhys, Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions This tightly wound and tautlyThe 2018 Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard opens with striking, floral infused aromatics that give the wine presence and structure. Savory and finely cut, with superb delineation, and tons of depth, the Alpine is positively stellar today. Layers of fruit enshroud the tannins, making them barely perceptible. The 2018 is a stunning Pinot from Alpine, a site originally planted with 17 heritage clones. Antonio Galloni
