2018 Arterberry Maresh Old Vines Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., $44. Own-rooted Wädenswil clone planted in 1970 (Block 1). · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Persistent aromas of red cherry, red rose, pine and baking spices. Light to mid-weight in heft with a core of fresh, juicy cherry essence annotated with hints of dried herbs and plum sauce. There is a thread of smoky oak. Impressive harmony, with slippery tannins and a finish that lasts and lasts. Still very enjoyable when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle when the seductive aromas just would not quit. Score: 93. Reviewed May 26, 2022
