title: Arista 2005 Ferrington Vineyard Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley)
description: Showing the superb structure of the vintage and the spectacular way this great vineyard can ripen Pinot Noir, this polished wine is not only delicious from the get-go, but ageable. Floods the mouth with lush black cherry, red currant, cola, sweet oak, anise, vanilla and cinnamon spice flavors that go on and on. A memorable wine that should slowly gather steam and peak by 2011, then begin a long, steady arc downward.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Ferrington Vineyard
