Rhys Bearswallow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

"Pale 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."- EB 02/2020

"The 2017 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard is dark, plush and totally seductive. Black cherry, plum, spice, leather and menthol meld together in a deep Anderson Valley Pinot built on textural resonance. The 2017 is forward and luscious, but it also offers terrific nuance, not to mention quite a bit of complexity and the structure to support many years of fine drinking." -AG 10/2019
