Smooth and elegant, with classic OR pinot flavors. (422 views) | | | Tasted by t_moderne on 11/5/2022 & rated 89 points: Opened, poured half into a decanter; saved half in a 375ml bottle.
Ruby color.
Nose offers soem forestfloor and light strawberry notes.
Good red fruit berry on the intro; light and fresh strawberry notes. Some spice on the mid-palate.
Quite enjoyable.
The half bottle, tasted the following day, lacked the freshness of the wine that was present on day one. Took on a slightly bitter element.
My score is for the wine when opened.
Diam 10 cork. (719 views) | | | Tasted by 3daywinereview.com on 10/2/2022 & rated 94 points: Day 1: This is showing well and wish I bought more at the $25 a bottle I paid. Truffles, soy, wood, spice, violets, raspberries and minerals. Complex and medium plus finish. 92 points
Day 2: Second wine in a row with some nice improvement from day 1. Vibrant showing soy, spice, saddle wood, mild funk, truffles and minerals. Super complex wine and well behind the price point of purchase. 94 points (981 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 9/8/2022 & rated 89 points: Consistent with a bottle last year. Good dark red fruit. Smooth and with some interest. Easy drinking. *** (850 views) | | | Tasted by t_moderne on 5/21/2022 & rated 92 points: Sometimes you just want a nice glass of Pinot. This satisfied the desire.
Pop and poured into a decanter. Saved 1/2 in a 375ml bottle under Vacuvin.
Ruby-purple color.
Nose offers spice notes, dark and sour cherries, floral notes, and a slight hint of wood smoke.
Good round fruit intro, with that mix of dark and sour cherry. Slight touch of sweetness, but far from overripe.
On day two, it shows a darker, concentrated fruit profile with some blackberry notes and plum. On both days, it retains freshness from the acidity. No sign of heavy oak use. Tannins nicely integrated.
Enjoyable.
Diam 10 cork with vintage on end cap; no branding.
12.8% abv. (985 views) | | | Tasted by Shay.Aldriedge on 4/20/2022 & rated 92 points: I’m glad I followed this over two days, as it improved dramatically from day one to day two.
As I’m diving in to more OR wines these days, I realized I hadn’t enjoyed any Arterberry Pinot (even though I’ve had Maresh vineyard wines). 12.8ABV and totally sports they crunchy, lean profile while retaining balanced weight.
Pale ruby in the glass. Little bit of reduction on the nose which blew off quickly. Day one was extremely timid…faint underripe red and black fruits, cedar, herbal twang, and black tea aromatics. Day two showed this open up to reveal more dark floral notes. Stemmy/green on the palate but not overly so. Dried cranberry, black cherry skin, earth, bitter herbs. Definitely sports a Burgundian flair to it, and at this point needs either an extended decant or years to sleep. Nice bottle once it came around. (1044 views) | | | Tasted by Bellissimo on 2/17/2022: First of three. PnP, consumed over 2.5 hours.
Darker in color than I guess I was expecting. Fair amount of wood, vanilla, and baking spices...you really have to search for red cherry. On the palate still get some vanilla and a little cola but more red fruit; this time red raspberry and cherry along with those nice baking spices.
No question this is a nice priced Pinot I just need the oak influences to be shed a bit. Wait 2 years is my recommendation at this time. (996 views) | | | Tasted by td1836 on 1/8/2022 & rated 91 points: Tending toward the darker end of the fruit spectrum, this is round and has a creamy note in the mid palate. Some herbs on the finish. (1022 views) | | | Tasted by forceberry on 8/7/2021 & rated 92 points: The entry-level Pinot Noir of Arterberry Maresh, made with fruit sourced from all their vineyards in Dundee Hills. 12,8% alcohol. Total production 550 cases.
Luminous, quite translucent ruby-red color. Somewhat restrained nose with aromas of brambly raspberries and fresh red plums, some raw meat tones, a little bit of darker-toned blackberry-driven fruit, light smoky tones, a hint of savory wood spice and perhaps a touch of skunky reduction that blows off quickly. The wine is dry, fresh and clean on the palate with a medium body and bright, fresh flavors of brambly black raspberries, some stony mineral tones, a little bit of savory wood spice, light umami notes of raw meat, a hint of ripe cranberry and a touch of fresh, tart red plum. Nice, high acidity and slightly grippy medium-minus tannins. The finish is dry, clean and crunchy with a long aftertaste of tart cranberries and stony minerality, some meaty tones, a little bit of ferrous blood, light woody notes of savory oak spice, a hint of black raspberry and a touch of peppery spice.
A wonderfully fresh, clean and vibrant Pinot Noir with beautiful clarity and intensity of fruit. This is dry, focused and high in acidity without any obvious oak tones - exactly as I want my Pinot! The overall feel is still very youthful, so I can imagine this wine will continue to improve for years more, but it is drinking remarkably well right now, so additional cellaring is not necessary. While the Arterberry Maresh Old Vines Pinot 2016 - that was tasted alongside - came across as more impressive, it was also noticeably closed and not really open for business the same way as this wine was. Although this is just the early-drinking entry-level cuvée of the winery, this wine was one of my favorites of the evening. A terrific Pinot Noir and solid value at 31,50€. (1986 views) | | | Tasted by kingkanu on 3/31/2021: Not too much happening on the nose. Great clarity and colour though. Tangy cherry fruit, a bit of sweet vanilla and clove spice, blood orange, the acid is really nicely balanced, not complicated but juicy and great qpr (1526 views) | | | Tasted by SimonG on 1/13/2021 & rated 89 points: Similarly dark red fruited as the ‘15, but a full one and a bit percentage less abv this shows excellent balance. Easy to drink, not huge complexity but enough interest to make this a lovely wine and fantastic vfm. *** (1581 views) | | | Tasted by norsktorsk on 1/15/2020 & rated 91 points: not my fav (2283 views) | | | Tasted by UncleG on 12/24/2019 & rated 88 points: Very tight and basic in its first 2hours. All though this is an entry level pinot would wait 2 to 3 years before opening my remaining bottles. (1946 views) | | | Tasted by madalyn on 9/22/2019 & rated 90 points: agree it needs time to open up (2053 views) | | | Tasted by mercurius on 7/18/2019 & rated 90 points: It was really closed down and needed a day to come around. (2000 views) | | | Tasted by spaldingsmails on 3/24/2019: Drank this over 3 days, leaving it corked on the counter. The first day it was rather basic and the acidity was a bit off putting. It gradually came around by the third day and came into balance with plenty of energy left, classic dundee hills earth and fruit. Glad to have one left, but will wait at least 1-2 years to open. (2306 views) | | | Tasted by arthrovine on 2/22/2019: Terrific Tuesday night juice. Jim does an excellent job of taming the voluptuous 16 juice. A half bottle under cork on the counter was better the next day than on pop n pour. (2379 views) | | | Tasted by dkhale4 on 12/30/2018 & rated 92 points: Beautiful expression of a bright, vivid Oregon Pinot. Gorgeous for the style it represents. (2422 views) | | | Tasted by ItsNotMe on 11/19/2018: I liked this one. Nice nose, then cherry and decent acidity. Yes, it works. (2207 views) | | | Tasted by kingkanu on 11/13/2018 & rated 88 points: Light bodied, 12.8% bright red cherry, redcurrant, cranberry with a touch of earth, tangy and a decent finish, tasting good already (2089 views) | | | Tasted by srh on 10/27/2018: OR (3) & CA (3) Pinots (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Attractive straws with floral notes
P: LM body; ATTRACTIVE frt met by some astringent pucker whih pretty much resolves by the LONG finish with a swtness to the dusty tannins -- & a very, VERY slight bitterness. Deserves/NEEDS a yr or so, then drinking for 3 yrs more. Nicely done in the style! My VG+/EXC-, arguably the higher based upon QPR. 93 pts WA; [Check with this vendor if interested in their very COMPETITIVE price.] (2164 views) | | | Tasted by James Macpherson on 5/15/2018: ''Great value; summer berry, with floral cherry, balance and concentration, long finish'' (2548 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |
| Arterberry Maresh Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
