Grand Cru vineyard + some of the oldest vines in the state (53 years old) + superior clones (Pommard and Wädenswil) + outstanding winemaker + warm, but gentle growing season = insanely great Oregon Pinot Noir. The Arterberry Maresh - Maresh vineyard regularly competes against the very best Pinots not only in Oregon, but in Burgundy too. ~
"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.” - 98 James Suckling & #2 American wine for 2025 + “The 2023 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard is impossible to ignore, offering an array of crushed cherries and minty herbs, along with a hint of clove and stone dust that tempt the senses. Elegance defines the feel, as velvety textures are supported by cool-toned acidity while red and blue fruits swirl across the palate, leaving a crunchy mineral tinge toward the close. A web of fine-grained tannins adds structure and poise as the 2023 finishes with outstanding length and energy, leaving inner rose tones and a pleasantly bitter twang to linger. Fabulous. Drink 2026 - 2034” - 96 Vinous
