Arnot-Roberts Santa Cruz Mountains Peter Martin Ray Pinot Noir 2022
- In stock, ready to ship
Found on Mt. Eden in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA, the Peter Martin Ray vineyard dates back to the late 1800s and was one of the first sites in California to be planted with Pinot Noir. Replanted in 1979, the old dry-farmed vines cling to the rocky landscape at over 420m elevation. The depleted, exposed shale soils are notoriously nutrient poor and the vines work hard to generate low yields of fruit with incredible concentration and depth.
96/100 - A pretty rich wine for Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts. Dense, dark red fruit, spice, pomegranate, and blood orange are beautifully amplified. The 100% stem inclusion is barely perceptible. Balance was so hard to achieve in 2022, but this definitely has it. Time in the glass brings out the natural savoriness and minerality of the Santa Cruz Mountains. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
92+/100 - This historic site on Mt. Eden dates back to the early 1940s, with the head-trained vines that go into this bottling planted in 1979. The 2022 Pinot Noir Peter Martin Ray Vineyard is muted at first, and then the nose unfurls with aromas of red berries, hibiscus, lavender and pine sap. Sleek and direct on the palate, this light to medium-bodied expression drinks beautifully young and should develop complexity over the next few years. - Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate
On the palate, powerful with muscular structure and bold, intense flavours of macerated cherries, blueberries, wild purple flowers, and dried herbs.
