Not rich, not herbal, but a nice blend of the two aromatically. Tar, ripe black cherries, red plum, herbal twang and just a kiss of smoked game. Lively and acidic on the palate, even at 7yrs of age. Gained darker and more dense fruits as it opened, with added iron, tart red fruits and an herbal spice driven finish. Hardly any signs of age here, so no worries on holding. Still picking up some heat, so I’d imagine this has another 2-3yrs before it’s integrated at its peak! Still gaining steam! Impressive. Thank you for introducing me to this winery, @David L ! I need to seek out more OR Pinots!

Looney was out the gate real strong, but then eased on in once she came into herself. Full figured and silky like #JessicaRabbit with those cheeky tannins.

2007 Vintage - Beautiful earthy and fruity Pinot, hints of cherry with nice acid and alcohol and a little on the heavier side. Archery Summit produces solid single vineyard Pinots.
