archery summit winery | blending private cuvee pinot noir

With access to five premier 2009 Archery Summit wines, beakers, measuring cups and worksheets, I went to work tasting (and spitting) the different wines. With 1000 mL to work with, I chose a final blend of the following:

Winemaker Anna Matzinger described my blend as “bold, brooding and mysterious.” I wonder what my taste in wine says about me?

    That is so amazing that you got to blend your very own wine! How many bottles did you get to keep? Make sure to save it for a special occasion. :)

      Gina, it was so fun! I took home one bottle of my own blend :) I still have it ready for a housewarming get-together…you know, once I finish warming my house myself :)
