2002 Maresh Red Hills Vineyard Pinot Noir

[dananne]

We cracked the Archery Summit-made one last night, and it's interesting to see how the same fruit, given to two different winemakers, can produce such different wines. This one was much denser and darker, with cherry cola on the nose and entry and a clove note on the finish. It tastes like a Central Coast PN, only at 13% alc. I like the more feminine one by Rex Hill described in the notes above better than this more muscular style, while Anne's feelings were more mixed. "It depends what mood you're in," she said. A nice drink, though, and like the one above, very much worth the $20-ish price.
