Family Farm Vineyard is one of the most accessible and expressive sites in the Rhys portfolio—planted to tightly spaced Pinot vines on sandy loam soils in San Mateo County. While it often drinks well young, the 2015 vintage has now entered a sweet spot, where primary fruit, savory nuance, and earthy depth are in perfect balance.

Expect aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, cinnamon, and autumn leaves, with a graceful, mid-weight palate framed by soft tannins and gentle acidity. There’s a touch of whole-cluster spice, but it’s integrated, adding complexity without any edge. This is mature California Pinot at its most elegant—a wine that whispers rather than shouts.

Perfect with duck, mushroom risotto, or just a quiet evening and a good glass. If you’ve been holding this bottle, now’s a very good time to pull the cork.

"This is at once aromatically quite ripe but also quite floral with a lovely panoply of spice elements adding breadth to the mostly red and dark berry fruit aromas. There is excellent volume, mid-palate density and richness to the borderline lavish flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the moderately warm finish that really fans out."

"The 2015 Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard is tightly wound today. Then again, it was just bottled about a month before this tasting. Pure, saline-driven and tense, the Family Farm shows a more focused, chiseled expression of the year. Time in the glass brings out the wine's body, textural richness and overall density. Even so, the Family Farm plays more in the red fruit end of the flavor spectrum. Readers who find the 2015 Pinots a bit too rich will find much to admire in the Family Farm." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2015 Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard is a beauty, and while it's obviously one of the riper wines in the range this year, it handles it very well, opening in the glass with notes of red cherries, wild berries, aromatic bark, subtle sweet spices and savory bass notes. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, with a generous core of ripe fruit, beautifully ripe, velvety tannins and succulent balancing acids. Attractively multidimensional and complete, the vintage and site have made for a very harmonious marriage this year and a Rhys wine that's unusually seductive and voluptuous in its youth." -William Kelley
