  • This bottle has been in my cellar for several years, a great gift from a great friend. Having just read that no one ever made a mistake opening a bottle of Pinot noir in it's seventh year, I decided to test the theory. It's true! Though a year before the beginning of its drinking window, this is already a Summit. Dark ruby with nice legs, after a half hour decant, the nose is spice, brambles and cherries. On the palate, it's got a distinctive combination of strawberry tartness with allspice intrigue. But the texture is the real standout -- smooth and silky, with a great long finish. Bullseye, Archery.

    (Archery Summit Pinot Noir Dundee Hills) Subtler cherry and floral nose with toast and some green notes; tasty, tart red fruit with good acidity, a little one dimensional now, needs a few years; short-medium finish
