October 20, 2017 - Hot wine from a hot vintage. Could taste all 15%... a Cali Pinot lovers Oregon pinot
August 6, 2016 - The Magnum I've been saving 7 years for our wedding and it did not disappoint!! Silky tannins all smoothed out with lots of black fruit and minerals with a long finish that left you wanting another sip. Thank you Archery Summit for delivering this beautiful bottle.
February 14, 2016 - Valentines Day : Bring a Bottle you LOVE (Jason and Mariellen's): Drank a small glass at the end of a tasting. This had a lot of class and character. I didn't know the vintage when I drank it, and frankly I'm surprised that it's held up so well. Bright red fruit, bing cherry and a little sassafrass. Quite elegant.
December 31, 2012 - Excellent. Drinking well tonight with a nice Cioppino. This is a very balanced pinot with licorice on the nose and a soft, lingering finish. This is the end of the window and it is certainly ready now, so if you have some, why wait?
November 25, 2010 - Sharp tannis and did not really smooth out.
May 16, 2010 - outstanding, just did not wait long enough. Decanted for 2 hours then started drinking. After the 4th hour of being open the wine was balanced, great fruit flavors. Wish I had more.
April 16, 2010 - Had for Thanksgiving dinner at Jenn & David's in 2009. Heather and Kris joined us for dinner.
February 3, 2009 - Agree with jts76. Always well done Pinot.
September 14, 2007 - Consumed at One Sixty Blue on 08/31/07; very elegant, always get the impression that the winemaker takes the time to handcraft Archery Summit wines; great attention to detail; perfectly balanced, good raspberry/berry fruit with long finish; rich, but not over-the-top; a very good all-around pinot.
October 21, 2006 - A disappointing wine without enough extraction to offset high alcohol (14.4%). Parker vinatge rating was 92.
