2014 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir Baker Ranch

An addition to the range, the 2014 Pinot Noir Baker Ranch is dense wine with a big mid-palate and plenty of up-front raciness. The flavors are deep, pungent and intense, to the point that the 67% whole clusters are pretty much buried by the fruit. The poor set here resulted in small berries that resulted in high skin-to-juice ratios during fermentation. This generous, mid-weight Pinot is likely to offer its best drinking sooner rather than later. There is plenty to like.
