“Centennial Mountain is a new range from Rhys that takes the place of Aeris. In short, all the Aeris wines have now been folded into Centennial Mountain, while the Italian Aeris wines have been discontinued. In my view, that greater focus is going to be a positive. The 2021s are seriously impressive across the board.”
2021 Centennial Mountain Zinfandel
“The 2021 Zinfandel is another stellar wine in this range from Centennial Mountain. Ample and resonant in the glass, with tremendous density, the 2021 stains the palate with dark fruit, cedar, new leather and incense. The 2021 is a blend of heritage Zinfandel clones and Primitivo clones from Italy. I have never tasted anything like it. What a wine.” 95 Points: Outstanding. A wine of remarkable personality and breed that is well worth seeking out.”
-Antonio Galloni, January 2025
