At approximately 750 feet above sea level, it sits right at the boundary of the marine layer, ensuring that the cool, coastal climate delays ripening well beyond the warmer vineyards to the east.

We suggest aging this wine over the next two to eight years.

The tight structure is aristocratic, as are the mineral-tinged flavors. Cellar a case. This stands among the best wines Antinori has made."
Antinori Badia a Passignano Chianti Classico Reserva 1997	Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy	Red Wine	92	90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot Brilliant ruby colour with cherry aromas and chocolate overtones. It is intensely fruity and complex, yet round, with soft tannins and velvety. The latter part of winter and the beginning of Spring were very mild for the time of year and also very dry. This produced early budding - some 10 days earlier than average. In April the temperature suddenly dropped, causing an arrest in the growth of the buds. The summer was very hot and sunny and this weather continued for the whole of September and for the duration of the harvest which meant that at the time of picking, the grapes were exceptionally healthy and with a high sugar concentration. Overall the 1997 harvest was somewhat less than expected in terms of quantity - but in terms of quality, this is an exceptional vintage, probably even better than the much acclaimed 1990 vintage and one of the greatest of the last fifty years.

Anthill Farms Campbell Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Sonoma County, California

Red Wine

91

Campbell Ranch Vineyard can’t help but produce what is typically the most explosively perfumed of Anthill Farm's wines. While the nose is initially somewhat shy, even brief aeration yields hints of garrigue, fir bark, and exotic osmanthus tea. The palate is long, limber, and athletic, with focused notes of damson and cider apple giving weight and flesh to the mouth. The tannins, dusty and energetic, guide the wine to an intoxicating finish.

Anthill Farms Campbell Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018

Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California

Red Wine

92

This vineyard is located a few miles from the Pacific Ocean, near the tiny town of Annapolis, and is farmed by Steve Campbell. At approximately 750 feet above sea level, it sits right at the boundary of the marine layer, ensuring that the cool, coastal climate delays ripening well beyond the warmer vineyards to the east. The fourteen-year-old vines grow on sandy, low-vigor Goldridge soil, which helps reduce yields to near two tons per acre.

Anthill Farms Demuth Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Sonoma County, California

Red Wine

92

Demuth’s older vines always create a wine of detailed aromatics and exquisite poise. The nose is quite open for a cool-climate wine, with herbal aromatics of thyme and bay buoyed by warm notes of brambly red fruit. In the mouth, these aromatics stretch and widen stretching over a cool but energetic core, redolent of redcurrant coulis. The Demuth’s persistent acids lead to a precise, linear finish. We suggest aging this wine over the next two to eight years.

Anthill Farms Demuth Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Sonoma County, California

Red Wine

90

As is often the case, the 2016 Demuth continues to be one of the more elegant and Burgunduan of the Anderson Valley Pinots. Its high elevation and large portion of the refined Wadenswil clone show their distinct character in the wine. Mint and pennyroyal jump from the glass with wafts of wild strawberry and pomegranate emerging with a touch of air. Though graceful, the texture covers the mouth with flavors that echo the aromas. Sneaky tannins and vibrant acidity give focus to this vintage of the majestically alpine Demuth Pinot. Best enjoyed between 2020 and 2028.

Anthill Farms Demuth Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Sonoma County, California

Red Wine

92

Demuth’s older vines always create a wine of detailed aromatics and exquisite poise. The brisk, tangy nose is perfumed by aromas of redcurrant, carnation, and incense-cedar. Tight-grained, grippy tannins frame an elegant, crystalline structure that is pulled through the mouth by a core of bright acidity. The wine’s long finish is cool, woodsy, and penetratingly earthy. The Demuth, as always, has the flesh and lithe structure for extensive aging. Drink 2022-2026 and beyond.

The southern slopes of these hills form the northern edge of the Petaluma Gap, which rushes cool, marine air from the Pacific Ocean inland. The vines, a mix of Pommard and 777 planted twenty years ago, produce grapes that ripen unusually slow due to the oft-present morning fog.

Spicy fruitcake, cherry tobacco and cigar box aromas with juicy plum highlights tempt the nostrils. Complex and refined nose. There's more elegance and genteel character in the mouth. Ripe and yielding plush black berry fruit, again with abundant spice. As soft and smooth as a ballroom dancer gliding and dipping in a Viennese waltz! Silky tannins, good integration of fruit and oak which has led to leashed power and superb structure. A wine that's drinking well now but which is made for the long haul and will reward patience.

Franschhoek Valley, South Africa

Red Wine

Alluring spicy aromatic overlay to dark berry and plum fruit with blackcurrant leaf and hint of cracked black pepper and violet. This wine is all about texture - from its soft, velvety entry to the gentleness of the spice which pervades the cassis, back fruit and cedar flavour. Ample turned earth and tobacco leaf notes too. Beautifully layeared and harmonious with the fruit ideally supported and gramed by sympathetic oak. Nothing is overplayed or dominant. Refined and elegant throughout. Rich, plush and nuanced with an aftertaste that lingers.

Beautiful seductive interplay of spice and red and black berry fruits on both the nose and palate. The mouth is succulent and packed with black cherry, blueberry and plum.

Antica Terra Ceras Pinot Noir 2013

Willamette Valley, Oregon

Red Wine

92

Ceras is Botanica's counterpoint. Its color is more purple than red. It is more about minerals and herbs than fruit and flowers. It is a focused and elegant distillation of rock rather than an opulent cascade of fruit. It is an expression of the geology that lays beneath our land, the tart blue fruits of the coast range and the tender herbs that one finds amongst the trees and mushrooms of the Northwest forest.

Antica Terra Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2009

Willamette Valley, Oregon

Red Wine

93

In 2008 the arrangement of this wine was almost identical to Botanica. The two wines were distinct, but they were playing in the same key. This year, the differences between the two are dramatic. Botanica is lavishly red fruited and dramatically rich. Its complexity comes more from ethereal floral tendencies than from mineral and earth. Antica Terra displays the richness of the vintage, but it is paler, detailed and more concise. Its flavors are from the forest: small wild berries, chanterelles, yellow leaves. This wine includes more fruit from our estate and two extreme sites closer to the coast. In 2009 the stems from these sites ripened to become russet, dense and woody. The impressions of spice, woodlands and autumn come from this.

"Built for the ages, this powerful young Chianti classico is destined to be a classic of the vintage. Its deep, pungent sangiovese flavors layer lean plum tomato and fuller cherry with broader flavors of the earth as it coasts off into a detailed, complex finish. The tight structure is aristocratic, as are the mineral-tinged flavors. Cellar a case. This stands among the best wines Antinori has made."

90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot Brilliant ruby colour with cherry aromas and chocolate overtones. It is intensely fruity and complex, yet round, with soft tannins and velvety. The latter part of winter and the beginning of Spring were very mild for the time of year and also very dry. This produced early budding - some 10 days earlier than average. In April the temperature suddenly dropped, causing an arrest in the growth of the buds. The summer was very hot and sunny and this weather continued for the whole of September and for the duration of the harvest which meant that at the time of picking, the grapes were exceptionally healthy and with a high sugar concentration. Overall the 1997 harvest was somewhat less than expected in terms of quantity - but in terms of quality, this is an exceptional vintage, probably even better than the much acclaimed 1990 vintage and one of the greatest of the last fifty years.
