An impressively complex and highly perfumed nose offers up interesting notes of tangerine, citrus, spice and diverse ripe red berry fruit aromas. The suave, generous and quite forward flavors retain a fine sense of detail before terminating in a dusty and much less grapey finish that displays impeccable balance and fine length. This very generous effort is not as complex as the Abbey-Harris but there is sufficient underlying material that greater depth has the potential to develop in time. *Outstanding*

Fresh wild strawberry scents and riper, rhubarb notes lend this Pinot a balanced sweetness. It's spicy and clean. Serve it slightly chilled with lamb roasted with eggplant.

The 2009 Pinot Noir Demuth is another of the more delicate, ethereal wines in this lineup. Dried herbs, crushed flowers, raspberries and cherries are nicely woven together... This line-up from Anthill Farms is very impressive. The Pinots in particular are distinctive and well deserving of serious consideration. (AG)
