Expressive wild berry fruit and forest floor at the same time, this Pinot Noir is rich, fruit forward and delicious. Secondary notes of Asian spice, strawberry and plum with a hint of caramel on the finish. This wine is balanced, well made and ready for prime time.

Will be interesting to see how this develops as it’s pretty all up front right now. Feels a little rich, with enough alcohol (14.5%), spice and fruit but is quite sweet. Slightly stewed sour cherry in the mix. You need to be in right mood but if you are then it’s a decent option.

Burgundy color with a bouquet and flavor of rhubarb and raspberry with some Pinot Noir spiciness in the finish. Like prior Arista Pinot Noir's that I have tasted, the wine was a bit spritzy, which was a minor flaw. The wine had only moderate nuance and intensity and its tannins were not completely integrated. Still very pleasant.

Still a touch sweeter/less structured than I’d prefer, but tasty nonetheless

Too sweet for the moment, but I expect it will age well and be lovely.
