Rhys Vineyards Bearwallow Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley, USA 2017 Monte Rio Cellars A blend of 95% MourvèdrePale to medium ruby purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard has a slowly opening nose of dried rose petal and violet, charcuterie, peppercorn, warm red cherries, dried herbs, dusty earth, bergamot and warm blackberries. It's light to medium bodied with a silky texture and intense, spicy, earth accented fruits, framed by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing very long and very spicy. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
