The Russian River Valley Pinot Noir bottling is a wonderful introduction to the Arista portfolio for 2019. The wine really captures the essence of the vintage. Blue and red fruits predominate on the nose, but the presence of a lavender inflected floral component is unmistakable. There is great tension and texture on the palate, with fine grained tannins supporting flavors of fresh pomegranate and tangy wild blackberry. A hint of cola on the long finish speaks to the quality of this vintage, where warm sunny days and cool nights gave rise to perfect ripeness balanced by a gentle yet refreshing acidity.

The 2019 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is a terrific introduction to this range. Bold, supple and juicy, the 2019 offers up plenty of Russian River character in a mid-weight style that can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. Crushed raspberry, rose petal, spice and kirsch are nicely pushed forward.
