Rhys Pinot Noir Horseshoe 2019
An incredibly complex and seamless wine, this opens with a savory, meaty nose layered over bright red fruit, marine air, fresh herbs, and coastal salinity. Aromas of red apple skin, black cherry, tomato, mushroom, and potpourri swirl with notes of baking spice and black soil. The palate is silky and velvety, delivering cranberry, red plum, and raspberry with a savory, herbal edge and a touch of creamy oak on the tangy, chewy finish. Salty, smooth, and supremely balanced, this wine is a study in elegance and depth. Decant now, but best in 1–2 years.
