With this Pinot, Anthill Farms looks to create a food-friendly, nuanced wine that represents the unique character of the Anderson Valley. Bright andapproachable with light herbacious notes and earthiness, this is a benchmark example of the balance that young California winemakers are striving for, and achieving. Somewhat remote from most of Northern Californias wine-growing districts, this valley shelters a surprisingly harmonious blend of the wild and the civilized: in one vista, one can see sheep ranches, redwood groves, apple orchards, and impenetrable oak scrub.
93 POINTS, WINE ADVOCATE
The 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a blend of wine from the Anthill Farms single-vineyard cuves, made with about 15% to 20% new French and Austrian oak and 40% whole clusters. Medium ruby-purple, it has pure scents of cranberries, blackberries, black tea leaves, fragrant earth and garrigue. In the mouth, it’s concentrated but light on its feet with a silky texture, floral fruits, seamless freshness and a long finish.
