While Arista is one of my favorite Pinot producers, this was OK. Deep opaque purple. Lively black fruit. Definitely tannic. High acidity.

Gorgeous. Even better after another year on it. Jamminess has died down and it’s now a beautiful, more subtle zin.

Amazingly jammy and rich. Go with sweet tomato sauces or sweet peppers and sausages. Save for a Godfather marathon.
