2023 Anthill Farms Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, Mendocino County, USA
$41.99
Sourced from a trio of cool, marine-influenced sites—Abbey-Harris (steep, south-facing slopes above Boonville on Bearwallow–Wolfey soils), Baker Ranch (east-facing Philo site rooted in shallow slate of the Casabonne–Wohly complex), and select neighboring valley-floor parcels. Fermented with a healthy portion of whole clusters and aged in neutral French oak, the 2023 emphasizes lift and transparency: red cherry and wild strawberry, rose petal, and a subtle forest-floor mossiness shaped by the valley’s fog and diurnal swing. Silky tannins, bright acidity, and a clean mineral line make this a quietly detailed, site-driven Pinot Noir—classic Anthill precision over power.
