One of the first California producers to make hardcore Burgundy lovers sit up straight, Rhys chases elegance and terroir through mountain farming and severe low yields. Skyline is exactly what it sounds like: peaking around 2,360 feet along the spine of the Santa Cruz Mountains, it is one of the highest Pinot Noir vineyards in California, giving a wine of dramatic energy, tension and stony intensity. This 2016 is still youthful and built for the cellar, so decant generously or tuck it away. A thrilling, high-altitude expression for those who chase the most cerebral California Pinots.

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.
