Anthill’s 2010 Pinot Noir Tina Marie Vineyard shows the exuberance and flash of Russian River. A juicy Pinot, the 2010 stands out for its pliancy and generosity. The up-front style makes the Tina Marie a pure pleasure to drink young, although it doesn’t quite have the pedigree or complexity of the Campbell Ranch. No matter, though, it is striking just the same. A burst of sublime, perfumed fruit graces the finish in this exquisite Pinot. (AG)

Bright red. High-pitched aromas of blackberry and cherry, with complicating notes of potpourri, spicecake and smoky minerals. Tight and energetic, offering a silky texture, intense red and dark fruit flavors, and a subtle lavender pastille quality. Gains flesh and heft with air but with no loss of vivacity or focus. Fine-grained tannins add shape to the spicy, penetrating, very long finish. (ST)

An expressive nose blends soft herbal hints and floral nuances adding breadth to the mix of red and dark pinot fruit aromas. The supple, round and delicious middle weight flavors are carrying obvious gas on the finish and it helps considerably if the wine is decanted for 30 to 45 minutes first. This will need a few years to really harmonize but it already has lovely complexity and persistence plus I like the balance.

Notes

Former Williams Selyem winemakers David Low, Anthony Filiberti, and Webster Marquez are the powerhouse winemaking team behind Anthill Farms, and they know a thing or two about Pinot Noir. Anthill Farms is a boutique producer that specializes in small-batch single vineyard and appellation Pinot sourced exclusively from small growers in Sonoma and Mendocino counties. 2010 marks their seventh vintage. "Tina Marie Vineyard" is located in the center of Green Valley AVA. It is a vineyard sought-after for its low yields of incredibly lush and perfumed fruit with high natural acidity. Winemakers' notes: "The nose is rich in exotic kirsch, violets, warm earth, and carnation. The wine's texture is lush and deep but very well-delineated by balanced acids. While charming now and perhaps our most accessible wine early on, the wine's focused length and chewy tannins will allow for years of aging."
