  I bought this wine in 2018 and waited patiently since then for the right opportunity to open it to complement my wife's cooking. I decided tonight was that time to drink it with pork tenderloin in a mushroom mustard cream sauce. In hindsight, this beautiful wine, with finesse and luscious fruit flavors, was overshadowed rather than complemented (IMO) the baby bella mushroom and mustard cream sauce. My bad. After dinner I finished the bottle after dinner with a few slices of brie and realized this was an unfortunate case of right wine, wrong place. In the last several month, we have been drinking bigger, bolder Sonoma pinots such as Wayfarer, Flowers and Hansel with pork and other dishes. Having never tasted any of Anthill's wines, I assumed it would be of the same ilk coming from Sonoma's Green Valley. I intend to seek out other Anthill bottlings and be more aware of what it will go with. Lesson learned.

  Improved with about 75 mins of air (Audozed). Good balance. A touch less expressive on nose and palate than previous vintages, I think. Very food friendly.

  Had some interesting herbal notes with a cherry dominant fruit. Would have liked to have more

  3rd visit, and somewhat different impressions from previous. Bramble, raspberries, strawberries, lemon peach, herbs notes and spices. Really nice stuff, as always. And great QPR.
