Bearwallow Vineyard in Anderson Valley is one of Rhys’s most distinctive sites—steep, rocky, and blanketed in coastal fog, it yields Pinot Noir with lifted aromatics, fine structure, and a deep mineral core. In 2017, the vineyard offered a slightly more expressive, early-drinking personality, but with all the precision and ageability Rhys is known for.

This magnum opens with red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and forest spice, but what sets it apart is its texture: sleek and layered, with silky tannins and a cool, stony edge that anchors the finish. It’s more approachable than the 2016 at this stage, but still has the bones to age beautifully—especially in 1.5L, where the wine will evolve gracefully over the next decade or more.

A perfect bottle for collectors, special occasions, or Burgundy lovers curious to see just how elegant and transparent California Pinot can be when grown and made with this level of care.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"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." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 94
"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." -Erin Brooks
