September 25, 2022 - Lovely West Coast Pinot Nuanced, light body, excellent with salmon. Great example of what restraint and patience can do for American Pinot noir. Convinces me that I should keep the well made Pinots
May 14, 2015 - Really awesome stuff, medium pale cherry red, great nose of cherries, pie spices, sassafras, root beer, tree bark - great palate, silky, smooth, great balance - flavour depth is where is lacks a titch, but this is wonderful PN, with personality and verve, complexity coming but if I had another bottle I wouldn't hesitate to leave it a while longer, as the freshness is still there.
July 21, 2013 - Medium ruby color with a pink rim. The purity on the nose is breathtaking - cherries, pomegranate, and spicy French oak. It smells like a barrel room and transports me back to many visits to Sonoma. The palate is packed with pure red cherry, pomegranate, spice, and earth. There is solid acidity in this medium-bodied wine, and the mouthfeel is refined and silky. The finish is packed with red fruits and has very good length. Overall, this has pure red fruit, great refinement, and seems to have at least 3 - 5 more years left.
January 5, 2013 - Terrific balance light and feminine. Sour cherries tightly curled tannins and high acids that float above a mushroom and earth base.
November 18, 2012 - Very nice wine. Pure red fruit flavors and great acidity...a little minerality to add to the complexity. Held up very well over 3 days.
November 8, 2012 - Brick red color with pink rim. The fragrant nose is packed with floral notes and raspberry. There is a unique brightness to Anthill Farm's fruit, and the wild strawberry and tart cherry notes were no exception. Structurally, the acidity makes this wine especially bright and lithe. The finish is long and pure. Overall, I enjoyed this wine for its expressiveness without being weighty or overdone. It is just pure fruit and balanced acidity.
September 13, 2012 - Delicious red cherries and spice on the nose with vibrant sour cherries on the lively finish.
July 27, 2012 - Great showing. Subdued but bright red fruit on the nose with tamed Cali Pinot fruit on the palate. Very restrained and in check. Light on its feet but substantial and round at the same time. Long. Some minerality and good overall depth. Could pass for New World burg.
June 24, 2012 - This was outstanding and ready to go. One of the best this year. Very much like rogerr and sweetdaddy notes.
June 4, 2012 - Bottle is really singing right now. Cranberry, rasberry, delicate but beautifully balanced with a long finish. Sad it was my last bottle.
