One of my favorite Pinot ever, perfectly captures the distinctive terroir of the Mendocino Ridge. Moderate garnet color in the glass, aromas of fresh strawberries and red cherries, damp earth, sandalwood, herbs. Full bodied with a soft, mouth-filling texture. Red fruits balanced with meaty, spicy, savory elements. Nice acidity and long finish.

Sweet cherry, red currants, mushroom, vanilla and hints of baking spice on the finish. Well made with excellent acidity…absolutely needs an hour decant to fully open up to enjoy.

kicks off with aromas of butterscotch, vanilla, sweet red cherries, strawberry, cranberries and sweet liquorice. Smooth and silky. Lovely fruit concentration. Arista manages to balance perfectly on the verge of opulence without loosing the elegance and freshness. Long fruity and slightly herbal finish.

Nose of red fruit. Cherries and strawberry on the palate. Medium body & acidity. Excellent wine.
