Archery Summit 2009 Arcus Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
Spicy, fruity and extremely youthful, this complex wine brings black cherry and cassis flavors with subtle notes of cola, licorice, allspice, sandalwood and pine needle. Still quite tight and primary, it has been beautifully sculpted into a focused wine with a long life ahead.

Archery Summit 2010 AB OVO Pinot Gris (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $42
This very limited, fermented in a concrete egg, and thoroughly splendid Pinot Gris is a good indication of the potential for PG in Oregon if the price limitations are lifted. Stunningly rich with citrus, lemon curd, ripe apple and light tropical fruits, this concentrated, deeply driven wine is both roundly full and amazingly dense. Certainly the best Oregon Pinot…

Archery Summit 2009 Looney Vineyard Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $85
A beauty—soft, round, bursting with cherry and raspberry fruit, blood orange, bracing acids and satiny tannins. Succulent and mouthfilling, with following notes of light chocolate, coffee and a streak of gun metal.

Archery Summit 2009 Red Hills Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $85
A terrific mouthfeel highlights this mix of berry and cherry fruits, toast and cinnamon. Tart and focused, it was aged in roughly half new French oak for the first 10 months, then transferred to neutral barrels for another five months. Fine-grained tannins give it an elegant finish.

Archery Summit 2008 Archery Summit Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $150
Archery Summit’s top cuvée is young and brash, a jangle of brambly berries, threads of incense and chocolate, assertive acids and not quite integrated tannins. It will require some patience, either in the cellar, or in the decanter (hours!) but has an underlying plush texture and an exotic mix of spices that elevate the pretty fruit to the next level.

Archery Summit 2008 Arcus Estate Pinot Noir (Dundee Hills)
- Cellar Selection
- $100
Spicy and assertive, this young, cellar-worthy Pinot Noir just hints at the complexity within. Give it plenty of air time and it opens aromatically with allspice, sandalwood, perhaps some cola and pine needle. The tart and tangy berry fruit is still compact and primary, but fully ripe and nicely sculpted into a well-defined wine from start to finish.

Archery Summit 2008 Looney Vineyard Pinot Noir (Ribbon Ridge)
- Editors' Choice
- $85
The Looney Vineyard bottling is the outlier in the Archery Summit lineup—a different AVA and a non-estate vineyard. The Ribbon Ridge AVA is a subset of a subset within the Willamette Valley, and it may be the hidden gem for producing great Pinot Noir. This wine is sensual, spirited, spicy and smooth. The cherry and raspberry fruit is highlighted with bright acidity…

Archery Summit 2009 Premier Cuvée Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $48
This is the most affordable Pinot from Archery Summit, a blend of multiple clones and vineyards, and it’s a gem. Full and fruity from the moment you pull the cork, it hits you with flavors of ripe strawberry, blackberry and black cherry, a big mouthful of lush fruit flavor. The finish brings on hints of truffle, licorice and dark chocolate.
— P.G.
