Note di degustazione
The largest production Pinot Noir is the 2016 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley, and it was all destemmed and brought up in French oak, 20% being new. Its medium ruby color gives way to a ripe, exuberant, flashy Pinot Noir that has loads of spice, ripe black cherries, earth, and just a hint of cola. It's textured, balanced, and has tons of charm.

Arista's 2016 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is powerful and deep. Black cherry, plum, tobacco, cedar, licorice and coffee notes add to the wine's dark feel. Made in an especially ripe, blowsy style, with quite a bit of fruit density, but also a lot of oak – too much, to be honest.
Pale to medium ruby in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley has a smoky, savory nose: woodsmoke, pipe tobacco, smoked meat and turned earth over a core of ripe red and black cherries and berries. Light to medium-bodied with good fruit purity in the mouth, it offers tons of savory layers along with firm, grainy tannins and great freshness to lift the long, flavorful finish. 1,286 cases produced.
