"The 2020 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard is a very pretty wine. Bright and effusive, with lovely red berry fruit, the 2020 is delicious right out of the gate. Sweet spice and floral accents give this mid-weight Pinot terrific lift. The 2020 is not super-complex, but it is quite tasted and expressive today. Drink it over the next handful of years." -Antonio Galloni

"Beginning on a restrained note, the 2020 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard progressively exudes aromas of black cherry, wild blueberry and violets. The palate is lush and seamless, with deft concentration at its core. The finish is long and harmonious, with deliciously juicy, red-fruited flavors and precise, delicate yet grainy tannins. Already drinking beautifully, this provides an opportunity to enjoy a Rhys vineyard-designate Pinot Noir long before the Santa Crus Mountains lineup has unlocked its full potential." -Matthew Luczy
