NV Anthill Farms 'North Coast' Pinot Noir, California   

NV North Coast Pinot Noir This appellation is almost universally described as “sprawling,” as it encompasses half or more of the county. Our fruit comes from two of the coolest, most “coastal” parts of this appellation: the low coast, west of Sebastopol on the edge of the Petaluma Gap; and the high coast, the first or second ridge inland from the Pacific, farther to the north. These sites, while geographically distinct, are linked by the direct influence of the Pacific’s cool, marine air, often delaying ripening well into October. A brilliant ruby color. Lifted and inviting aromas of cherry, dried roses, cardamom and tea leaf, with dark cherry, a deep, base note that continues to transfer to the palate. This blend of all our Sonoma Coast sites has come together beautifully as a mid-weight, textural wine with tons of energy and delectable length—fresh and drinkable. This turns gorgeously floral and spicy over time in the glass. Drink this now-2030. 13.5% abv.
