The 2023 Arcus Vineyard Pinot Noir offers a distinctive expression of the Dundee Hills. Aromas of blackberry, red currant, and crushed peppercorn are layered with savory notes of thyme and allspice, a nod to the wine’s whole-cluster fermentation. On the palate, it’s elegant and seamless, with silky cherry, raspberry, and red curran supported by fine, firm tannins. The finish is juicy yet savory, leaving a lasting impression. Enjoy now or cellar through 2034, with a prime window from 2026–2029. This would pair extremely well with roasted chicken dressed with fine herbs and finished with a sauce of cream and tarragon.
