title: Arista 2008 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: Although this isn't one of Arista's single-vineyard bottlings, it's right up there with them, offering rich flavors and a lovely structure. It's dry and silky, with brisk acidity backing raspberry, cherry and sandalwood flavors, and an earthy hint of balsam-splashed beefsteak tomato. Drink now–2013.
variety: Pinot Noir
