I've had different vintages of Looney. but this was my first time to try this. PnP and very tart and tight at first. Needed 30+ minutes to open, but it never completely lost the grapefruit-like tartness. Mostly dark cherry fruit with some earthiness. I thought the texture was somewhat thin and slightly austere. Not one of Archery Summit's best efforts.

(Archery Summit Pinot Noir Looney Vineyard Ribbon Ridge) A moderately aromatic, stylistically unique wine with notes of wild strawberry, guava, red and black licorice, and mocha. The palate is tart and tightly wound with quite chewy, lip smacking tannins and bright, mouthwatering acidity. 100% Pinot Noir (Dijon 115, 777, 667). Aged 10 months in French oak (35% new). 13.5% alcohol. Sample provided by winery.

For an off vintage, this wine is drinking very well, and is in the sweet spot. I am going to drink my last bottle soon.

Surprisingly good, complex and integrated. Better than I remember. Great nose. A little sweet. Still with big fruit. Fabulous!
