Tasting notes
Fermented with 50% whole clusters and hailing from the oldest vines in the Rhys portfolio, the 2022 Pinot Noir Home Vineyard displays the simultaneous richness yet weightlessness that only vine age can provide. The nose combines juicy, concentrated, red berry compote-like aromas with lifted herbal accents. The palate combines a plush, decadent texture with taut, structured tannins while remaining impressively light on its feet through the intense yet nuanced finish. This wine opened up considerably in the glass, particularly in its tannic structure, suggesting that this will need time in the cellar.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Home Vineyard is a potent, tightly-wound wine. It shows quite a bit of energy and mid-palate presence, and yet the wine comes across as pretty packed and closed in around that core of fruit. Dried leaves, incense, pipe tobacco, brown spice and underbrush notes bring out the darker side of Pinot. There's more whole cluster here than in most of the Pinots, which at least partly explains the wine's reticence at this stage. - Antonio Galloni
