PINOT NOIR
Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Dundee Hills ‘Old Vines’ 2023
“The 2023 Pinot Noir Dundee Hills Old Vines blossoms in the glass, where balsamic-tinged black cherries mingle with dried roses, nuances of gravel dust and a hint of clove. This wine is seamless and elegant, silken in texture, with a solid core of minerals to balance citrus-infused wild berry fruits that slowly saturate the palate. It tapers off chewy and extremely long, leaving the palate water for more, all framed by regal tannins.” 95 – Eric Guido, Vinous “Beautiful cherries and red currants lead the way, showcasing a classic Dundee profile, with hints of red flowers and citrus peel. Bright and crunchy with a vibrant character. The texture is refined, with medium body and a compact tannin core. Succulent fruit and a mineral backbone lead to a precise and harmonious, bone-dry finish. Drink or hold.” 95 – JamesSuckling.com
Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard 2023
98 points and #2 in Suckling Top 100 American Wines! “Tense and savory, with layers of spicy herbs and black pepper, together with pure, elegant fruit wrapped in blood-orange zest. The structure is tightly wound, with firm, deeply rooted tannins and almost endless length. The mid-palate unfolds with bitter oranges, seashells, iron and crushed bricks, adding complexity. This is built for the cellar and needs some time. Better from 2029.” JamesSuckling.com (Suckling incorrectly priced the wine on their website.)
98 points and #5 in Suckling Top 100 Wines of the World 2025
“Arterberry Maresh Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from high elevation vines planted in 1970 and 1972. Classic Dundee Hills high toned red fruits and florals emerge with air. Elegant and coiled with raspberry, boysenberry and old vine minerality that adds layers to the fruit as it hits full stride in perfect balance.”
Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard 2022
97 points “The Maresh is a combination of 1970 and 1974 planted vines. Mouthfuls of complexity and elegance. High-toned red fruits and forest-driven umami character, pine bough, blood orange and spice. Long hang times for 2022, the low alcohol is evocative of Old World Pinot Noir. There is a darkness and complexity of the wine, with an intensity of flavour, only 5% new oak, 20 months in barrel. Spiced cinnamon, fresh red strawberries, savoury clove and smoked sea salt, bring an intensity, and a crushed stone minerality finishes this beautiful wine. Silken elegance and intensity combine in a gorgeous wine.” 97 points – Clive Pursehouse, Decanter.
Arterberry Maresh Pinot Noir Old Vine 2022
95 points – “The 2022 Pinot Noir Old Vines has explosive aromas of raspberry, strawberry, tangerine, licorice, fern and amaro. The light-bodied palate is just as gregarious, bursting with fruit and spice that accent a concentrated core of berry fruit. It has a luxuriously silky texture, fireworks of fresh acidity and a very long, layered finish.” 95 – Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate.
A blend Maresh planted in 1970 and Weber planted in 1983. More floral, and a bit darker than the Dundee Hills with vibrant long fruit. Pomegranate molasses, cherry and citrus rind. SOLD OUT
Arterberry Maresh Maresh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
WINE ADVOCATE 95+ Points The 2018 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard is an incredible wine. It opens slowly to an arresting perfume of dusty earth, dried rose petals, tea leaves, licorice and amaro with a wealth of bright red berry fruit at the core. The palate is elegant, supple and juicy, with an expansive fan of layered, spicy flavors and a very long finish. It’s hard to resist now, but it will have more to offer with time in bottle.
