The wine is assembled using select lots from Arista’s Westside Road Estate Vineyard as well as selections from the Toboni, Lucky Well, and Mononi Vineyards. No de-classified wine or \"filler\" vineyards are used for this appellation blend. Instead, this wine is viewed as a tete-de-cuve© blend of single vineyard and estate wines and is an excellent survey of the vintage and appellation each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue and red fruits predominate on the nose, but the presence of a lavender inflected floral component is unmistakable. There is great tension and texture on the palate, with fine grained tannins supporting flavors of fresh pomegranate and tangy wild blackberry. A hint of cola on the long finish speaks to the quality of this vintage, where warm sunny days and cool nights gave rise to perfect ripeness balanced by a gentle yet refreshing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2002, the McWilliams family founded Arista Winery with a vision to create exceptional, terroir-driven Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley.
