Rhys Vineyards' 2019 Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains reflects the ideal combination of cool climate and meticulous vineyard management that define this exceptional appellation. Known for producing wines with finesse and complexity, Rhys delivers a Pinot Noir that is both vibrant and nuanced, capturing the essence of its unique terroir.

The nose opens with bright aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and cranberry, intertwined with earthy undertones of forest floor and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, with layers of red fruit, subtle floral notes, and a touch of oak that adds depth. The tannins are soft yet structured, providing balance, while the wine’s natural acidity gives it freshness and lift. The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of berries and a delicate herbal quality.

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto. With its complexity and elegance, the 2019 Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir is a wine that can be enjoyed now or aged for further development in the cellar.

More about Rhys Vineyards

Kevin Harvey, a software entrepreneur with a Burgundy obsession, started Rhys in 2004 to prove California could make world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah from mountain vineyards. Seven estate vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Anderson Valley, all gravity-fed, foot-trodden, wild fermented by winemaker Jeff Brinkman. These are soil-driven wines—mineral, complex, serious. The kind of wines that make you forget you're drinking California.
