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

This estate’s top bottling is well made in this vintage, with a nice medley of ripe berries, cassis, coffee and earth. Quite young and firm, its tart acids are still in control, with some chalky, unresolved tannins on the finish. Time could well improve the score. —P.G. ——P.G.(4/1/2003)—— 87
