MacRostie Pinot Noir Arrow Block Vineyard

Opaque with an inch pour but showing its age with a red ring around the edge. Alluring aromas of black and red cherry, and the sip enters the mouth with upfront fruit and a softened silky texture that is delicious and caressing. The final swallow features a spike of intense and concentrated fruit. Nothing sour, oxidized, flabby, or astringent anywhere in the taste. Overall, holding well and enjoyable at its peak anytime in the next 4 years.

Brambly blackberry fruit with a smoky backdrop. Well-balanced fruit, oak, acid. Easily drinkable into 2020. Tasted at the winery.

rustic and didn't live up to it's expectations

Very nice

Bright acidity, red fruit, notes of orange/cranberry. Juicy.
