I’m glad I followed this over two days, as it improved dramatically from day one to day two.

As I’m diving in to more OR wines these days, I realized I hadn’t enjoyed any Arterberry Pinot (even though I’ve had Maresh vineyard wines). 12.8ABV and totally sports they crunchy, lean profile while retaining balanced weight.

Pale ruby in the glass. Little bit of reduction on the nose which blew off quickly. Day one was extremely timid…faint underripe red and black fruits, cedar, herbal twang, and black tea aromatics. Day two showed this open up to reveal more dark floral notes. Stemmy/green on the palate but not overly so. Dried cranberry, black cherry skin, earth, bitter herbs. Definitely sports a Burgundian flair to it, and at this point needs either an extended decant or years to sleep. Nice bottle once it came around. — 3 years ago

I've had Albe a number of times, and it's always been very good. This bottle is delicious, even though it is young. It's vibrant and zesty with bright cherries, cranberry, a light dusting of... dust, little mint, little tea leaf. It would be great with some cellaring, but when it tastes like this at this price, why wait? Paired beautifully with some flank steak and chimichurri.
Delectable puts it at $48 but I don't think I've ever spent that much.

Medium Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits with notes of herbs, citrus and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cranberry and cherry with espresso, vanilla and herb tea spice, well balanced with acidity. Fine soft tannins on a long finish ending with cacao, baking spices and earthy character. Very nice! — 3 months ago

Cranberry and some very faint oak aromas and flavors, still shows a fair amount of structure, good acid, medium-long finish, very good! — a year ago

9.4

Nose of cranberry, raspberry, slightly peppery smoke and a hint of Halloween mask latex over a pale red peach, and slightly rusty color and a surprisingly light body. For a 6 year old wine the acidity is still sharp, tart and gently tannic, with a surprising freshness in ripe red fruits, deep rose florals and gentle tannins. As the wine opens, the nose and palate blossomed, into a bouquet of rose, wet dark stone, a bit of dried cactus bramble, a hint of mushroom and crushed ripe red fruit. Oof, delicious. — 2 years ago
