This comes from a vineyard that neighbors Arcus, a 16 acre property. The wine was aged 10 months in 45% new French oak prior to being bottled in August 2014. The Pinot Noir from this estate ripens a bit later than Arcus and they lost 20% of the fruit from this estate in 2013 due to torrential rains during harvest. The wine opens with aromas of cherry pie, raspberry, vanilla and oak. There are flavors of raspberry, cran-orange, with a lovely mouthfeel and texture. Not quite the weight of the Arcus and Archery Summit Estate bottlings but lovely mouthfeel and minerality. (Best 2017-2029) - November, 2015 (OB)
