Arterberry Maresh 2024 Maresh Pinot Noir

From 50 year old vines. Rose petal, black tea, rhubarb. Bright red, harmonious and complete. A streak of grip evenly fills the mouth and frames the layers of energetic red fruit.

Vinous: 97
Savory depths of cherry sauce, woodland herbs, cedar, spice box, crushed violets and lifting nuances of split pine make the 2024 Pinot Noir Maresh impossible to ignore. Dangerously seductive, this soothes the palate with ripe red and blue fruits over a tactile core of minerality as textures of pure silk envelop the senses. Lavender tones resonate over a framework of tannins as echoes of crushed blackberry and a hint of licorice slowly fade through the wonderfully long finale. There is so much complexity here, but also sheer drinkability. Good luck keeping your hands off the 24 as it matures.

An intense, layered and intriguing wine that changes a lot in the glass. Pronounced umami, dark fruit, spices, pine forest, crushed flowers and orange peel up front. Concentrated and refined with energetic acidity and verve, leading to a long, evolving finish.
