Tasting notes
I was surprised by the outstanding depth, concentration, and length of the 2000 Pinot Noir Arcus Estate. Violets, roses, black cherries, and blackberries can be found in this wine's nose as well as in its medium to full-bodied character. Extremely well-made, it is muscular, defined, and loaded with fruit. Projected maturity: 2004-2012. The 2000 vintage is the last produced by Archery Summit's winemaking team of Gary Andrus and Sam Tannahill, both men having departed to begin other ventures. Tel. (503) 864-4300

Good red-ruby. Reduced, slightly meaty aromas of black cherry, black raspberry and cassis. Tightly wound flavors of raw crushed dark berries and meat, with a strong oakiness. Finishes firm, bright and a bit dry, with good length.
