Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Dundee Hills 2024

Critical Acclaim: 95 pts James Suckling; 93 pts Wine Spectator; 93 pts Vinous. 

About the Wine: Arterberry Maresh is one of the benchmark names in Oregon's Dundee Hills, rooted in the historic Maresh Vineyard story. This 2024 Pinot Noir shows the polished, lifted side of the appellation: red-fruited, floral, and finely structured rather than heavy.

Tasting Notes: Cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and dusky spice, with silky texture, bright acidity, and refined tannins. Elegant and layered, with the kind of freshness that keeps you coming back to the glass.

"Focused, intense and flinty with aromas of pears, crushed oyster shells and lime zest. Opens to more citrus fruit and their blossoms. Medium- to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, showing nice spices, linear acidity and chalk in the finish. A good value from a single vineyard. Drink or hold."- James Suckling. 

"A delicate and pretty Pinot, with elegantly multilayered flavors of cherry and strawberry that take on accents of rose petal and dusky spices. Ends with refined tannins. Drink now through 2034."- Wine Spectator. 

"The 2024 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills is vibrant in the glass, as a wave of crushed raspberries combines with sweet lavender, cedar box and hints of orange sorbet. It splashes across the palate with pure cherry juice, vibrant and succulent, with contrasting tart citrus inflections that pinch at the cheeks. The 2024 tapers off with tension, leaving the cheeks puckered and the mouth watering for more as nuances of tart cranberry linger."- Vinous. 

Serving Suggestion: Pair with roast chicken, salmon, pork tenderloin, mushrooms, or duck. Serve slightly cool and give it 15 to 20 minutes of air.

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
