2011 Rhys Vineyards Family Farm Vineyard Pinot Noir

90 pts - Wine Advocate

["Still showing its oak elevage, with some char and vanilla in its sweet cherry, old hearth, roasted herbs and licorice aromas and flavors, the 2011 Pinot Noir Family Farm Vineyard is medium-bodied, nicely textured and has notable acidity that comes through on the finish. This is one of the few wines from Kevin where the oak sticks out (it does integrate more with air), nevertheless, it's still outstanding and has lots to love. I suspect it will evolve nicely for another 5-7 years. - Jeb Dunnuck (30-04-2015)"]

89 pts - Wine Spectator

["Aromas of damp clay and wet earth join dried herb and savory dried berry notes in this taut, distinctive wine. The tannins are earth-laced and gritty, so this may be best after a few years in the cellar. Best after 2016. — JL (03/2015)"]
