2006 Antica Terra Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

The 2006 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley includes some contracted fruit. Medium ruby-colored, it has an attractive bouquet of spice box, wood smoke, and red fruit compote. This leads to a mouth-filling wine with layers of sweet fruit. It has excellent concentration and depth and a lengthy finish. Drink this tasty effort over the next eight years. The winemaker/partner at Antica Terra is Maggie Harrison who worked at Sine Qua Non from 1998 to 2006. The winery purchased a 40 acre property in 2005 and 2006 is the first vintage.
