2021 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir Baker Ranch

From the winemaker: “Dark ruby/purple color. Right away brimming with exotic aromas of spices, black cherry, warm earth, deep, dried orange, and incense burst from the glass. This is light on its feet but truly built around a succulent texture and brightness of acidity making for easy and pleasurable drinking right away. At 12.9% alcohol, this wine’s complexity, depth and length are extraordinary speaking of the site and tiny berries we find common on the Philo Ridges heading west to Elk on the Mendocino Coast.”

WA 95 – “The 2021 Pinot Noir Baker Ranch Vineyard has slowly unfurling scents of lavender, licorice and tea leaves with detailed earthy, foresty accents in the background. The light-bodied palate is chalky and wonderfully refreshing with layers of botanical fruit that seem to expand and gain intensity on the long finish.”
