The Reuling Vineyard is an exciting new acquisition for the team at Arista that was planted by Peter Michael in 2000 with vine cuttings from Burgundy in Vosne-Romanée. The first release of this wine, the 2021 Pinot Noir Reuling Vineyard is highly expressive in the glass and pours a deep ruby/magenta color. It’s perfumed with cascading aromas of Amarena cherries, black truffle, and dark mineral earth. Medium-bodied, it’s seamless in structure, with pure, even tannins, elegant freshness, and good tension to hold it all together through to its long finish. It’s a superb first vintage of this wine that readers should snap up. (AF)
