• Archery Summit Premier Cuveé Pinot Noir -- "The 2007 Pinot Noir Premier Cuvee represents about half of the winery's total production and contains wine from each of the 5 single vineyards. It spent 10 months in 50% new French oak. Medium to dark ruby-colored, it exhibits a spicy bouquet of cinnamon, allspice, and rose petals. This leads to a medium-bodied wine with attractive, sweet cherry and raspberry flavors. The wine has a firm, moderately lengthy finish." -Wine Advocate "This wine opens with perfumed aromas of black cherry and raspberry, spicy plum and violets. On the palate, blueberry, plum, cassis and earthy notes converge around a fresh core of bright acidity and plush tannin lending this wine structure, vitality and grace. There is precision in the expression of fruit and an elegant yet ample succulent structure that progresses to a finish that is long and lasting with hints of blueberries, spiced cherries, exotic incense and fresh rose petals. This lovely wine is drinking well now but may also be enjoyed over the next five to eight years with proper cellaring."-Winemaker's Notes
