Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Maresh Vineyard 2019

98 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): “The 2019 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard comes from Pommard and Wadenswil clone vines planted in 1974 and was matured for 23 months in oak. Proprietor Jim Maresh says that, ‘The 2019s needed that extra polish.’ It’s extraordinarily expressive and complex this vintage, with detailed cranberry, raspberry and tangerine aromas and nuances of rose petals and aniseed. The palate has a weightless feel from its bright acidity, silky texture and surprising fruit concentration, finishing very long and pure. Drink: 2022-2037. (Dec 2021)”

96 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): “Shimmering magenta. Mineral-accented fresh red berries, sandalwood, exotic spices and rose oil on the expansive, seductively perfumed nose. Alluringly sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering vibrant cherry, raspberry, allspice and floral pastille flavors, along with a hint of blood orange. Fine-grained and seamless in texture, finishing with resonating spiciness, smooth tannins and superb, floral-driven persistence. Drink: 2024-2034. (Feb 2022)”
