Score 92/100 · Drink 2024-2034, Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate, Apr 2024

The 2019 Chenin Blanc Mt. Pajaro Vineyard is quite tropical on the nose, showing off flashy aromas of passionfruit, papaya, pomelo and fresh ginger. The palate is loaded with verve and vigor, showing a crunchy, citrus-tinged zest and concluding on a long, chalky, stony finish. Given the amazing heights that the Burgundian varietals have achieved at Rhys and the upward trajectory of Mt. Pajaro, I can't help but wait eagerly for each new release of this wine.

The 2019 Chenin Blanc Mt. Pajaro Vineyard is light, airy and gracious. Orchard fruit, white flowers, mint, white pepper and crushed rocks lend brilliance to this finely sculpted, chiseled white. For readers who enjoy Chenin, Rhys has another three on the way. (AG)

One of the finest expressions of this variety in California, the light gold-hued 2019 Chenin Blanc Mt. Pajaro Vineyard offers lots of tart pineapple and citrus fruits, notes of savory herbs and loamy earth, medium body, bright acidity, and a clean finish. This beautiful Chenin Blanc will drink nicely for at least 7-8 years.
