Note di degustazione
The 2012 Arcus Estate Pinot Noir is the largest single-vineyard bottling from Archery Summit, planted in a bowl that holds the heat. This was picked October 8-18 and aged for 11 months in 38% new French oak. It has an exuberant bouquet with blackcurrant pastilles, orange rind and even a touch of marmalade, nicely focused and gaining vigor in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, a light saline touch, hints of white pepper coming through toward the finish with just a touch of glycerine that is accentuated with aeration. It offers moderate complexity but also a very long, spicy finish that lingers long after the wine has departed. This is one of the better releases from Archery Summit, though it comes with that three-digit price tag.

Bright ruby. Explosive dark berry and cherry liqueur aromas are complicated by suggestions of Indian spices, licorice and vanilla, with a subtle mineral quality adding vibrancy. Palate-staining blackberry and lavender pastille flavors are sweetened and deepened by mocha and fruitcake notes that build with air. Shows excellent vivacity for its heft and power. Closes spice, smoky and long, with supple tannins coming in slowly.
