youthfully austere and lingering finish that is shaped by lemon-tinged acidity

a peppery element adds spicy lift

where the wines remain for a few months

The middle weight plus flavors exude a beguiling inner mouth perfume and a plenitude of minerality on the focused and almost painfully intense bitter cherry pit-infused finish

Rhys, Pinot Noir San Mateo County other_regions youthfully austere and lingering finishMuch more fruit loaded and rounded than the Santa Cruz Mountains release, the 2013 Pinot Noir San Mateo County comes mostly from the Family Farm vineyard, with a touch from Horseshoe. It gives up lots of strawberry, Bing cherry, spice, and floral nuances to go with beautiful fruit and texture on the palate. It's one of the most approachable Pinots in the lineup, but I suspect it will still have another 5 7 years of longevity.
