Very perfumed. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a bright finish. Linear and tight. Hibiscus at the end. A blend of declassified barrels from the single-vineyard wines. Drink or hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJeb Dunnuck 94 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e | The ripe ruby-colored 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley saw the small addition of about 10% whole cluster. The nose opens to a just gorgeous perfume of red and blue fruit as well as fresh violets and cherry candies. Very tasty indeed, the palate is inviting and medium-bodied, and it has a supple, silky texture, with a long, fresh, pure finish. This inviting red is going to have a wide drinking window over the next 6-8 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate 92 Points \u003c\/strong\u003e| The 2021 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley is a blend of fruit from Arista’s seven vineyard-designate wines. It has pretty aromas of blackberry, blueberry, plum, licorice and turned earth. The medium-bodied palate offers layered, spicy flavors structured by finely astringent tannins and bright acidity, and it has a long, fragrant finish. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Spectator 92 Points \u003c\/strong\u003e| Bright and punchy, offering energetic pomegranate, cherry and loganberry fruit infused with sassafras and hibiscus notes, while fresh and slightly high-pitched acidity gives the finish a racy edge. Drink now through 2031.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWinemaker Description \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core principle of the winemaking philosophy at Arista is to capture and express the true character and potential of each vineyard. They work with a very carefully chosen handful of grand-cru level Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards, and are uncompromising in their efforts to maximize the full potential of the wines crafted from these special sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir blends several vineyards from across the storied Russian River appellation, which makes it a prime snapshot of our home region as a whole in each vintage. In 2021, conditions for Pinot Noir in the Russian River Valley were exceptional, leading to deeply colored, intensely aromatic, wonderfully vibrant wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ruby-hued wine shows classic Pinot Noir aromas of black plum, tart cherry, and cola. Across the palate, similar ripe fruit notes are abundant and buttressed by the tangy acidity. The firm tannins, which are a hallmark of the 2021 vintage, round out the long finish on this quintessential Sonoma Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50046462591259,"sku":"210000058669","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/hxenmlcdoq8yuturg3m2.jpg?v=1772555336","url":"https:\/\/67wino.shop\/products\/arista-pinot-noir-russian-river-valley-2021-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
