The 2014 Horseshoe Vineyard Pinot Noir is classic Rhys—focused, savory, and built for the long haul. Horseshoe is their most structurally serious and mineral-intense site, perched high in the Santa Cruz Mountains on limestone soils, with persistent fog and a long growing season.

In the glass, the 2014 is still youthful but starting to open: crushed red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, and cool forest herbs, with undertones of wet stone, black tea, and subtle spice. There’s notable grip and acidity here—the tannins are firm but fine—and the finish hums with energy.

Fermented with a healthy dose of whole clusters, aged in mostly neutral oak, and bottled without fining or filtration, this wine is a study in transparency and restraint. Compared to Rhys’s other vineyards, Horseshoe is darker, firmer, and slower to show its full personality, but it’s also the one that rewards patience most.

Drink now with a decant and hearty fare, or hold for 5–10 more years if you want to see it hit peak complexity. Perfect with roast duck, mushroom risotto, or anything earthy and layered.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2014 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard is one of the most subtle wines in the lineup. Black cherry, plum, mint, hard candy and sweet spices, along with ripe, silky tannins, give the wine its sense of creaminess and textural finesse. Super-expressive aromatics and layered, plush fruit add to the wine's considerable appeal." -Vinous

RP 95
"A wine I think is the best vintage to date, the sensational 2014 Pinot Noir Horseshoe Vineyard comes from one of the top sites in all of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Incredibly complex, with layers of sweet black cherries, black raspberries, barnyard, wild herbs and spice, it has medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, impeccably balanced texture and a great finish."
