Tasting notes
Lurid magenta color. Highly perfumed, mineral-accented red berry preserve and cherry aromas are complemented by suggestions of cola, five-spice powder, vanilla and candied flowers. Supple and alluringly sweet, offering concentrated raspberry, cherry, spicecake and rose pastille flavors that are energized by a building mineral quality. Shows excellent clarity and spicy lift on the vibrant, red fruit-dominated finish, which is framed by velvety, harmonious tannins. (made with 40% whole clusters; 41% new French oak)

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Arcus Vineyard has a perfumed nose of pink peppercorn, fresh pipe tobacco, dried leaves, violets and dusty crushed rock over a core of crushed blueberries and black cherries with bramble berry preserves in the background. Medium-bodied and silky textured, it fills the mouth with blue and black fruits with great layers of exotic spices and earth. It has a firm frame of chewy tannins and mouthwatering acidity, finishing very long and layered.
