RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...incredibly elegant wine. The nose begins with delicate dried roses, orange peel, cinnamon, aniseed, rhubarb and red berry aromas supported by an underlying sense of amaro-like spiciness. The light to medium-bodied palate is delicately styled and gently perfumed with a silky texture and fresh acidity to lift the ethereal finish.

93Wine Enthusiast

Opening in a richness of toffee on the nose, this wine is delicate on the palate, layered brightly and seamlessly in pomegranate, rhubarb and cranberry. Clove, tea and dried herb give it a savory, earthy contrast and lasting complexity.

91-93Vinous / IWC

...bright, focused and very nicely lifted. Floral and sweet red berry notes grace this mid-weight, vibrant Pinot.

PRODUCER

Anthill Farms

Anthill Farms in Healdsburg, California, was started by three young winemakers who met when they worked together at Williams Selyem. Anthony Filiberti, David Low and Webster Marquez decided to make their own single-vineyard Pinot Noirs, and their debut release was in 2004. They quickly gained a cult following at famous restaurants in the Bay Area, and Anthill now produces 1,500 cases a year. Though Anthill is best known for Pinot Noir, it also makes a Syrah.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma, Sonoma Coast

Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
