2017 Arista Winery Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard Anderson Valley (MAGNUM)

(93 Points  --  Jeb Dunnuck)

A different beast from the Russian River releases, the 2017 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard comes from the Anderson Valley and is one of the fresher, more Burgundian styled wines in the lineup. It offers notes of forest floor, savory red and black fruits, flowers, and sappy herbs. Tight, vibrant, and juicy on the palate, with good acidity and silky tannins, it needs air to show at its best, and my money is on it benefiting from 2-3 years of bottle age. 93+   Review Date: 05/2020
