At Rhys Vineyards we aspire to make great wines from unique and expressive vineyards. This pursuit has lead us to select five different sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains for growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Our overriding belief that unique vineyard expression is the key to truly great wine leads us to an approach that includes:
-A relentless, spare-no-expense, focus on producing the best possible fruit in the vineyard
-Carefully selected cool weather sites that offer interesting and expressive soil character
-Natural winemaking with minimal intervention
These core tenets help us produce ageworthy wines that emphasize vineyard expression, balance, fresh fruit, and concentration. | Santa Cruz, CA

2005 Rhys Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay
Santa Cruz Mountains
January, 2008- The difficult 2005 weather produced just a single barrel of concentrated Chardonnay from our Alpine Vineyard. As in the past, this bottling shows the complex rainwat ... moreer, minerals, and lemon rind character that we have come to expect from this vineyard. This is a very powerful wine, and the almost searing youthful intensity begs for a few years of cellaring. We wish we had more!

2005 Alesia Chileno Valley Pinot Noir
Sonoma Coast
January, 2008- The 2005 Chileno Valley Pinot Noir has an intriguing Dujac-like nose of spicy forest floor and ripe fruit aromas. It offers terrific layering with a refreshing salin ... moree character highlighting the ripe red and black fruit. Always our most cellar worthy Alesia Pinot, this wine requires at least 2 to 3 years of cellaring.
