2018 Rhys Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard
The 2018 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard dazzles from start to finish. Tangerine oil, matchstick, wild flowers, sage, chamomile and pineapple are some of the many notes that grace the 2018. In the glass, the 2018 is focused and taut, with striking richness that is just waiting to emerge. In a word: Superb. 94+.

While from a site not far from the Horseshoe Vineyard, the 2018 Chardonnay Alpine Vineyard is distinctly different. Where the Horseshoe Chardonnay is exotic and more masculine, this is more seamless, elegant, and classic. Chassagne-Montrachet-like notes of orchard fruits, citrus blossom, toasted bread, flowers, and spice as well as some classic Santa Cruz Mountains minerality dominate the bouquet, and it’s medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, and has a great finish. It’s already approachable, yet its spine of acidity as well as its mid-palate depth all suggest a solid 10-12 years of prime drinking. 97.

Rhys’ 2018 Alpine Vineyard Chardonnay is beautifully expressive on both the nose and palate this year- right out of the blocks, though it is certainly built for the long haul! The wine comes in at a refined 12.8 percent alcohol and offers up a lovely, sophisticated bouquet of apple, pear, lemon blossoms, fresh almond, salty minerality, citrus zest, vanillin oak and a touch of acacia blossoms as well in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, balanced and just a touch reductive for cellaring, with a marvelous core, stunning mineral drive and grip, ripe, buried acids and laser-like focus on the long, complex and utterly refined finish. I love the backend lift here! Great juice. 2023-2045+. 94
