Rhys Bearwallow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

The 2018 Pinot Noir Bearwallow Vineyard marries the forward fruit that is so typical of this site with the brisk acids and freshness that are such signatures of this great Pinot vintage. Sweet floral and spice notes lead into a core of red berry fruit as this polished, classically built Pinot reveals its considerable charms. The 2018 has plenty to offer. I wouldn’t be in a rush to open it, but for readers who can’t resist, it is the most approachable of these wines. Drinking window: 2024-2038. Score – 94. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Sept. 2020)
