Robert Parker 91 points (Oct 2008) The 2006 Pinot Noir Arcus Estate is dark ruby-colored with floral notes, fennel, black cherry, and black raspberry. The most structured of these wines, it also has savory flavors, excellent depth, and a fruit-filled finish. It will be at its peak from 2012 to 2020. Wine Spectator 83 points (Jan 1 2008) Earthy, gritty and tough, this is not very welcoming. A thin beam of currant fruit seeps through on the finish. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,598 cases made. –HS |
