I don't remember if it was the '10 Horseshoe in particular, but I have definitely thought of Jamet when drinking recent Rhys syrahs.

The Horseshoe vineyard is magic.

Two or three year ago, Jay was kind enough to serve my first Rhys when I visited NY. I readily admit to not appreciating it. Since then, I have had enough (via Craig Potts mostly (who used to claim not to like Pinot Noirs) to understand what the fuss was about. To the extent that I yet know enough to discriminate (and I don't), I had a preference for Bearswallow.

That's quite possibly because it was an early bottle and the quality has gone up dramatically.

Since 2008, the wines we tasted on our visit, they've been about as good as any wines from anywhere.

Arnot-Roberts have a pinot noir this fall from the Martin Ray vineyard in Santa Cruz that is pretty exciting.

I'm actually talking ab out the stuff from earlier that I've been able to taste. What Jonathon may have had could have easily been from then.

Oh sure, I got that. I wasn't trying to contradict you, I guess I could have worded it differently.

Has he also got one named Rabbit's Foot and a third named Shamrock?

I guess they have been pretty lucky.
Best, Jim

There were no 2005 estate pinots at Rhys, just Alesia.

Thanks, I'd forgotten all about that.

In 2004, the Home was miles ahead of both of the other two estate pinots and one of their all-time greats.

I've heard this often, but have never had an opportunity to drink it.

I had the 2004 Home - it never showed what I was looking for but I hear that, only now, has it come round.
Best, Jim

Slaton, Cory and you can buy me dinner and I'll bring a 2004 Home Pinot.
