2022 Archery Summit Renegade Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir

Unruly in the best sense of the word, Renegade Ridge answers only to its own unique ripening schedule. The relatively slow growing conditions are owed to a cooler microclimate that overlooks the scenic cascades. The vineyard’s tendency to produce exotic, citrusy flavors despite being a stone’s throw from archer’s edge speaks to the enigmatic nature of pinot noir. Typically, the last fruit to enter the cellar, it’s always worth the wait, with structure that’s immensely intricate.

With a dark and brooding color, the Renegade Ridge leads with resinous fir tips on the nose. Aromas of jam preserves, blue fruits and violets make way for a colorful palate. Under ripe purple fruits are carried by voluptuous tannins while a faint acid core fades beautifully into a briny, juicy, complex finish. This wine can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for 10 or more years
