title: Arista 2005 Longbow Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
description: Here's a young, hedonistic Pinot that captures the essence of RRV from a perfect vintage. Although it's ripely forward in cherry, pomegranate, Dr. Pepper, red licorice and cinnamon spice flavors, it shows a structural sophistication that elevates the score. Beautiful now, and should improve over the next 6 years.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Longbow
