Drunk over 2 days. Probably the best Arista PN I have had. Ruby no bricking, not filtered. Nose is expressive with lots of savory notes-/ forest floor, spice wrapped over round black cherry. The body is simply delicious with round fruit balanced with enough acid and tannin structure to be delicious. More like Oregon in a warm season than California.

Excellent wine. Young. Better with decanting (used a Vinturi as well). Layers of flavor. Not a big, bombastic wine, but very balanced and nuanced. Will leave my others rest in the cellar for several months or a couple of years.

Not a bruiser at all. Beautiful pomegranate nose. Gentle, seductive palate. Great transparency. Great palate presence with being burdened by weight. A subtle but very impressive Pinot!
