2017 Arterberry Maresh Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

Professional Reviews

Notes

Jim Maresh is the first third-generation winemaker in the history of Oregon. His father and grandfather were some of the earliest pioneers of viticulture and winemaking in the state. Jim's upbringing on his family's vineyard gives him an utterly unique appreciation for the red hills of Dundee, its vineyards, the neighbors, the seasons … you might say Dundee is second nature to Jim. It also helps that he farms some of the oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines in the United States. That's why it's no surprise that he makes some of the most sought-after wines in the AVA, year in and year out. These are small-production beauties, and typically only the AVA designate wine makes it into retail. The single-vineyard bottlings are almost always sold out through the mailing list, so the opportunity to acquire any of Jim's wines is one that should not be missed.
