Last consumed 2 years ago and it has really evolved! Opened for 30 minutes prior to drinking and it was a very smooth first sip! Don’t detect much acid with solid bright red fruit. The finish is longer than I remembered, but that’s not a bad thing. Sorry to be done with this vintage.

Typical Anthill Farms taste. Fruit driven, bright, flowery. Red fruit, mainly berries predominate, with hints of licorice, spices, and cacao. Very long and substantial finish, almost surprisingly so for a wine that is medium body overall.

Tasted, then after reading previous tasting notes here, I had to check the bottle twice to make sure I was drinking the same wine as described.
Color is a light, translucent ruby. Initial nose somewhat muted. Eventually some baking spices came through, but the floral notes mentioned by others escaped me. Not much showing on the palate, either. Some sour cherry. Much more tannin than I expected. Medium acid. In a dead spot?

Very smooth Pinot!! Can drink as a PnP but after 30 minutes it really opens up. Not much acid with this one but it has nice smooth fruit without any “darkness”. Taste good from start to finish when it hits your mouth.

Pop and pour and was able to follow this over the course of three days. Light ruby color. Cloudy. Nose offers an earthy and savory side of fresh soil, tobacco leaves and brown spice along with some slight strawberry note. Good red fruits with that brown spice coming in. Shows some fresh tobacco leaves and a hint of smoke and oak on the back end.

Very tasty! Opened up nicely during the meal as the second glass tasted even better than the first after being opened for 30 minutes. Will let it breath at least that long next time a bottle is opened.

A bit lean in color and body. Fruit is elegantly ripe. With nice structure.

Barely ready, maybe even a bit still closed. Larger for Anthill. 13.5%

Sweet flowery nose on PNP, fades but still nice. Fruit good, soft tannin, not much acid but good now.

Big wine. Ripe dark fruits on nose, esp. plum. Baking spices & lots of fruit on palate. Extended finish. Nice.

Pretty crimson. Rich wafting aromas of darker fruits, tobacco and cedar. Well balanced, elegant and well weighted. Great with food.

Nice core of red fruit. Good balance and nice acidity. Great nose. Didn’t hold up so well to air over a few hours. Better as PnP.
