Rhys Vineyards Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019 is taut and quietly powerful, opening with lifted red cherry and wild strawberry layered over hints of spice, black tea and forest herbs. The palate is precise and energetic, driven by a vivid mineral line, with silky but insistent tannins that carry its dark, subtly savory fruit through a long, focused finish. This is a refined, long-haul Pinot that rewards time in the glass and will gain complexity in the cellar.
