2019 Arista Pinot Noir UV Vineyard Russian River (MAGNUM)

(98 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

The 2019 Pinot Noir UV Vineyard is impressively pure and complex this vintage. Its blackberry jam aromas mingle with tones of tobacco, laurel leaves, forest floor and violets, seeming to gain aromatic intensity as it spends time in the glass. The palate has a seamless, effortless feel as it moves through the mouth with its concentrated core of berry fruit, and it has a notably persistent finish replete with streaks of lavender and mushroom.
