A surprising effort from a challenging vintage in 2020, the Old Friend Arlyn Pinot Noir crafted by Joe Dobbs is definitely one of the top 5 Oregon Pinots of the year. Showcasing a neon medium ruby core with a lighter pink rim in the glass, it gifts aromas of macerated blackberries, lemony herbs, grilled plums, and hints of coffee grounds. Fruit forward on the palate with aspects of dried smokey herbs that sit on the back palate of the lengthy finish. Drink now or over the next 5 years.
