Tasting Notes
Medium plus bodied with ample structure. This youthful wine displays attractive black and red cherry fruit, herbs, rose, forest floor and minerals along with spicy clove notes that linger in the finish
Tightly wound in its youth, but the potential is undeniable.
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Pinot Noir
100%Pee-NO NWAR
Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.
Embracing the frenetic energy for which they were once teased, a trio of Williams Selyem alumni started “Anthill” Farms winery in 2004.
United by their passion for crafting wines with a true sense of place, Anthill Farms produces wine from a network of cool-climate vineyards across Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Highlighting the nuances of their vineyard sources, the trio crafts focused and energetic wines, expressing the underlying nature of their meticulously farmed vineyards.
From their inaugural release in 2004 to the present day, Anthill Farms remains a small, passionate winery that leaves us wishing there was more wine to be had.
