2018 Cristom Old Vine Series Arcus Vineyard Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 225 cases, $45. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Highly nuanced nose with aromas of dark cherry, muddy earth, cardamom spice, rare beef and floral goodness. Intense entry attack of dark red cherry and black raspberry fruits with a subtle compliment of earth and oak. Bright acidity fuels the freshness and juiciness of the wine. Notable tannins contribute the likelihood of age ability. The finish is impressive for its persistence. Score: 94. Reviewed February 21, 2022
