Arenness Cellars 2020 Pinot Noir

I reviewed the Arenness wines a few weeks back but just got to taste this outstanding Pinot Noir. It recalls some of my favorite Patty Green wines from the Ribbon Ridge AVA, with big, juicy fruit flavors that mingle cherries and berries. The acids are proportionate and the tannins very well- managed, yet for the moment it's the fruit that shines the brightest, with touches of blood orange, sea salt chocolate and coffee grounds as lighter notes. Interesting fact – the final blend includes two percent Syrah. (Note: this is still available for purchase as this is being posted but don’t wait long.)

25 cases; 13.6%; $36 (Ribbon Ridge)
