98+ Point Pinot Noir Legend in the Making

Advocate: One of the best expressions of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir I've ever had

Hello

Wine Access

Dear Insider, Take it from the guy who lives in Napa Valley, worked for ten years in Oregon, and sold Burgundy nearly every day for a decade of his life:Dollar for dollar, NOBODY is making better Pinot Noir in the world right now than Oregon. For its complexity, purity, and ageability, Jim Mareshs 2021 Maresh Vineyard Pinot stands with the very best of Burgundy and Sonoma, full stop.This bottle hails from Jims sacred Maresh Vineyard, one of the top Pinot sites in the state. Weve never had the chance to offer this bottling before, and the 2021 earned a staggering 98+ points from the tough-scoring Wine Advocatebetter than nearly every 2021 from Williams Selyem or Littorai, better than Burgundy Grands Crus like the 2021 Mugnier Musigny ($2,000+) and 2021 Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Bze ($4,500+). This is a spectacular value, grown on 51-year old vines in the fabulous 2021 vintage. Erin Brooks of Wine Advocate raved, It stands out as one of the best expressions of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. It's just $75.Secure your share now.Driving up Worden Hill Road, the Mareshs big red barn is impossible to miss. Back in 1969, farmer Jim Maresh Sr. imported Pommard and Wadenswil Pinot Noir clones from California. He planted them in the spring of 1970 with the help of his neighbor Dick Erath, and those deep-rooted, dry-farmed vines are still producing world-class fruit today. This bottle is the proof.Erin Brooks wrote in Wine Advocate, The wines are concentrated yet elegant, fruity yet flinty and are some of the most impressive wines Ive tried anywherenot just in the US. She raved, Pinot Noirs from Arterberry Maresh offer amazing layers of sweet, precise fruits, exotic spices and eartheverything you want from great Pinot Noir. Theyre concentrated and jam-packed with flavor while still maintaining excellent grainy tannic structure and very juicy acidity, not to mention they age beautifully.With its dry conditions and low yields, 2021 is a landmark year for Willamette Valley wines, with one veteran winemaker putting it in the top five of their lifetime. I cant point to a better value in collectible Pinot Noir in the world right now, and a case will deliver well over a decade of thrilling drinking. I grabbed the last cases for Wine Access members, so make sure you lock in your share before theyre gone.
