2018 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard

The 2018 Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard, pale to medium ruby-purple in the glass, is an incredibly elegant wine. The nose begins with delicate dried roses, orange peel, cinnamon, aniseed, rhubarb and red berry aromas supported by an underlying sense of amaro-like spiciness. The light to medium-bodied palate is delicately styled and gently perfumed with a silky texture and fresh acidity to lift the ethereal finish.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard is bright, focused and very nicely lifted. Floral and sweet red berry notes grace this mid-weight, vibrant Pinot. The 30% whole clusters add perfume, and are very nicely integrated, especially for a wine that is still in barrel. The 2018 should drink well with minimal cellaring.
