2022 Archery Summit Archer's Edge® Vineyard Pinot Noir
Archer’s Edge® is the gateway to the estate, cradled in a south-facing pocket of pristine land leading the way to the winery drive. Rich resident soils and clonal diversity add layers to an already diverse batch of blocks. An old soul of sorts, this site is poised between youthful freshness and sophistication, showing fruity and savory components.
Boasting a deep purple hue, this wine offers hints of earth accented by clove, cinnamon, raspberry jam and cocoa on the nose. The palate is meaty, with chewy yet resolved tannins at the forefront, shadowed by a seductive and velvety structure. There’s freshness here, not unlike the first strawberry of the season. The signature basaltic minerality is discernible and there’s great balance between acid and tannin. This wine can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for 10 or more years.
