Arterberry Maresh Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2024
99 points James Suckling: “An intense, layered and intriguing wine that changes a lot in the glass. Pronounced umami, dark fruit, spices, pine forest, crushed flowers and orange peel up front. Concentrated and refined with energetic acidity and verve, leading to a long, evolving finish.”
97 points Vinous: "Savory depths of cherry sauce, woodland herbs, cedar, spice box, crushed violets, and lifting nuances of split pine make the 2024 Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir impossible to ignore. Dangerously seductive, this soothes the palate with ripe red and blue fruits over a tactile core of minerality as textures of pure silk envelop the senses. Lavender tones resonate over a framework of tannins as echoes of crushed blackberry and a hint of licorice slowly fade through the wonderfully long finale. There is so much complexity here, but also sheer drinkability. Good luck keeping your hands off the 2024 as it matures."
Us: This magical Pinot Noir is on its own pedestal. Reading the early reviews (below) it's so easy to nod our heads: dangerously seductive, the definition of silky, the kind of wine where every time you reach for the glass, a new layer has emerged, complex but just so amazingly drinkable.
It's all here. It's mindblowing. It's a Maresh masterpiece.
