Merchant's description

Rhys San Mateo County Pinot Noir 2012 hails from a meticulously managed vineyard nestled within the Santa Cruz Mountains. This Pinot Noir showcases the complexity derived from diverse soil types, including clay and sandy loam, which contribute to its nuanced profile. The fermentation process incorporated a significant percentage of whole clusters, enhancing the wine`s aromatic expression. Aromas of dark cherries, subtle earthiness and herbal undertones are present, alongside a structured palate with moderate acidity and depth.
