Tasting notes
The 2009 Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard comes across as ethereal and at time a touch fragile, but there is plenty of fruit behind the high-toned bouquet. Crushed flowers, spices, dried cherries and licorice meld together beautifully in this sexy, refined Pinot. Sweet candied and floral notes wrap around the finish.

The 2009 Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard comes across as ethereal and at times a touch fragile, but there is plenty of fruit behind the high-toned bouquet. Crushed flowers, spices, dried cherries and licorice meld together beautifully in this sexy, refined Pinot. Sweet candied and floral notes wrap around the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. This line-up from Anthill Farms is very impressive. The Pinots in particular are distinctive and well deserving of serious consideration. Tel. (707) 385-9396
Medium red. Exotically perfumed and expressive, displaying aromas of raspberry compote, Asian spices, violet and a touch of incense. Fleshy and broad on entry, then tighter in the middle, offering spicy black raspberry and cherry flavors along with notes of candied rose and star anise. Shows good heft on the finish, which clings with impressive spiciness and tenacity.
