Archery Summit Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Estate 750 ML

92 points, James Suckling 91 points, Wine Spectator The 2017 Dundee Hills is opulent and teeming with balance. Wild berries and fresh roasted coffee on the nose lead to complex stone fruit flavors and the peppery nuance associated with whole-cluster fermentation. A master juggler, the 2017 Dundee Hills handles tannin, new oak, and minerality with remarkable finesse. Driven by quintessential Red Hills locales and flavors, the wine is a culmination of our 25-year legacy—an opus to our special surroundings. At Archery Summit, we embrace traditional winemaking techniques as well as Pinot-centric technological innovations, enabling us to craft the very best wine from each vintage. Painstaking efforts, including hand-farming and harvesting, have helped us forge an international reputation for being one of the finest Pinot Noir producers in the world. This year we celebrate over two decades of crafting estate-grown Pinot Noir, showcasing the distinct personality of our vineyards. In honor of the occasion, we introduce Archer’s Edge, our newest estate vineyard. This unique parcel represents a culmination of expertise derived from two decades of cultivating a connection with our land and an intimate knowledge of its terroir. Archery Summit Estate is our home vineyard that surrounds our winery in the Dundee Hills AVA. This 16 acre vineyard was planted in 1994 just after Archery Summit’s inception and is an extension of our efforts to establish the best combinations of vines and rootstocks with soil and mesoclimate. The site exemplifies our continued pursuit to craft America’s premier Pinot Noir.
