2022 Archery Summit Archer’s Paradox Pinot Noir

93 points, Wine Advocate

Archer’s Paradox is sourced from the Archer’s Edge Vineyard. While many archery summit wines are created with intentional use of whole cluster, Archer’s Paradox pushed the boundaries of the style, using 100% whole cluster. it is set apart by its rich spice notes and lingering fine taninns.

This maroon-hued wine entices with a complex nose of brambleberry, mushroom, and a medley of spices including allspice, cinnamon, and clove. On the palate, it reveals cocoa-like, chalky tannins that provide a pleasing tension without overpowering. The well-balanced structure offers present yet unobtrusive tannins, resulting in a harmonious texture and finish.
