Pinot Noir Weber Vineyard 2021 Arterberry Maresh

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (97)

The 2021 Pinot Noir Weber Vineyard comes from vines planted in the 1970s and is highly expressive this year, pairing concentration and detail. It has a medium ruby color and alluring, feral aromas: wafts of iron, tar and game meats complement a deep core of briary fruit, and it takes its time in the glass to unfold to higher-toned notes of potpourri. Light-bodied, it's nuanced and detailed, opening to bursts of blood orange and bitters flavors as it moves through the mouth. It has abundant, powdery tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a flourish of spice across the finish. The Weber is already impressive, but it will offer even more after 5-8 years in bottle.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Weber Vineyard blossoms in the glass with crushed raspberries, sage, rose petals and dusty earth, forming a pleasurably earthy bouquet. This is round and supple yet with nervous energy, casting a savory display of red berries and wild herbs as pretty inner florals form toward the close. This finishes lifted and fresh with a resonance of licorice, leaving a primary concentration staining and slowly fading gently grippy tannins. This pure translation of Pommard clone Pinot Noir from Weber is a total pleasure to taste.
