Producer notes: "The wine's nose opens with spicy aromas of carnation, heather, and forest floor. The mouth, fuller than in past vintages, is finely textured with concentrated flavors echoing the varied aromas with subtle hints of cola. These broad flavors are shaped by a balanced, intricate structure."

Not yet reviewed; 2010 vintage rated 93 points by Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate), who wrote: "Anthill’s 2010 Pinot Noir Tina Marie Vineyard shows the exuberance and flash of Russian River. A juicy Pinot, the 2010 stands out for its pliancy and generosity. The up-front style makes the Tina Marie a pure pleasure to drink young, although it doesn’t quite have the pedigree or complexity of the Campbell Ranch. No matter, though, it is striking just the same. A burst of sublime, perfumed fruit graces the finish in this exquisite Pinot. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020."

Not yet reviewed; 2010 vinrtage rated 90 points by Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar), who wrote: "Full red. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry and cherry, Asian spices and rose, plus a touch of licorice. Juicy, sharply defined red berry flavors are complemented by cracked pepper, cinnamon and a hint of candied flowers. Seductive, seamless and delicious already."

Producer notes: "100% Pinot Noir from Silver Pines Vineyard, Bennett Valley, Sonoma County. Clones: 80% Mariafeld, 20% Pommard. Raised for 10 months in 100% French oak (80% new). The Vagrant is the only Pinot Noir that will bear the Argot name from the 2010 vintage. The production level is tragically low. What arrives in the glass is a stunning Pinot Noir that will caress every nook and cranny of your sensorial experience. Each bottle we have opened has offered immediate gratification. We believe The Vagrant will reward short term cellaring. We adore this juice." Argot winemaker Justin Harmon crafts small lots of white and red wines including Pinot Noir at Vinify in Santa Rosa.

Ruby red in color with ripe cherry and berry flavors. Soft and elegant, this wine can be enjoyed with wild game dishes and roast meats. Wine Enthusiast wrote this regarding the 2009 vintage: "...the best Pinot Noir at this price in California. Dry and silky, with raspberry, cola and black tea flavors."

Producer notes: "Deep, rich garnet color. The wine opens up with aromas of ripe berries, fresh cranberry, candy apple and malted vanilla, some of which carries through to the palate. There’s a hint of Granny Smith apple on first sip that beautifully balances out the rich cream soda and cherry cola notes. It is an extremely layered wine, both in structure and flavor, with a slight earthiness and sweet oak on the finish. The wine almost contradicts itself, managing to display freshness and maturity all at the same time, which is achieved through careful blending."
Not yet reviewed; 2011 vintage rated 92 points and 'Smart Buys' by Wine Spectator: "Dark and rich, showing toasty mocha oak flavors, with a beam of wild berry, raspberry, cola, vanilla and spice. Long on the finish. Drink now through 2020."

Producer notes: "The color is quite striking, with brilliant red ruby hue hinting at the luscious fruit to come. The aromas are abundant with bright cherry, cranberry and brown spice, reminiscent of warm cinnamon toast topped with plum jam. On the palate, the bright cherry opens the show, then evolves into a lush, sweetly spiced plum pudding, coating the mouth with a velvety richness. The acidity is as vibrant as the color, lifting the medley of fruit to lavish heights and augmenting the spicy tones. The wine developsan intense mineral note, adding yet another dimension, lending way to silky tannins and a lengthy finish that will leave you wanting more."

Producer notes: "Dense, dark garnet color. Aromas of juicy dark fruit, moist soil, vanilla and cocoa burst out of the glass. The palate is so rich that it can almost be chewed on. Flavors of pie filling, plum, cured meats and root beer enliven the senses. This wine has structural integrity with great depth. The balanced acidity leads to a provocatively supple finish."
Not yet reviewed; 2010 vintage rated 92 points by Wine Spectator: "Deliciously pure, rich and layered, with complex currant, blueberry and wild berry fruit that's supple, deep and persistent, ending with ripe tannins. Drink now through 2023."

PinotFile: "14.4% alc. Released October 2012. Own-rooted Martini clone planted in 1972. Aged 9 months in French oak barrels. Dark violet color in the glass. 100% de-stemmed, extended cold soak, aged 9 months in 60% new French oak barrels. Plenty to like on the nose with hi-tone aromas of spicy black plums, fresh blackberries and vanilla cream. A big gulp of exotically spiced plum and dark berry fruit is front and center, very seductive, expanding in the mouth, permeating every nook and cranny, and finishing with power, length and a velvety appeal. The creme soda-laced oak and cinnamon and clove spice flavors are complimentary. Similar to the 2010 version which was an 'All-American.' This wine has something unique and recognizable to me. Not even close to classic or Old World traditional Pinot Noir, but it tastes great and drinks seamlessly. Cool package too. (2/28/13)"

'Good,' PinotFile: "[$29 list] 13.5% alc., pH 3.74, TA 0.50, 15, 207 cases. 100% estate-owned Nielson Vineyard fruit. This wine comes from both older Pinot Noir vines planted on their own rootstock and new vines planted to high density spacing with the latest clones and rootstocks. Aged 10 months in 20% new French oak barrels. Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Very appealing aromas of black raspberries, black plums, spice, pine and nutscented oak. Mid weight flavors of dark berries, cherries and plums with pleasing hints of cola, spice and herbal oak. A little earthy tone fills the background. This wine is noticeably lighter, fresher and crisper in this vintage. (3/23/13)"
Producer notes: "The Santa Maria Valley is located on an unusual topographic slice of land known as a transverse range. Unlike the majority of California’s wine producing valleys, the orientation is east to west rather than north to south. As a consequence, an unprecedented amount of marine air and accompanying fog is pulled into the vineyards from the nearby Pacific Ocean. The unimpeded flow of cold air from the Pacific Ocean makes our appellation unique."

Producer notes: "Brilliant and dark-hued, this 2010 de Villiers Vineyard Pinot Noir effuses playful, bright aromas of blackberry, licorice, mineral and just a hint of sweet oak. The wine is deep and smooth, with black cherry, spice and persistent cherry. Fine grained tannins offer a graceful structure and persisten juicy finish. 2,009 cases produced. Alcohol 13.8%."
Not yet reviewed; 2009 vintage rated 96+ points by Wine Advocate: "The 2009 Pinot Noir De Villiers Vineyard, from vines planted in 1997, bursts from the glass with expressive, juicy fruit. Dark red berries, flowers, mint, spices and an orange rind follow, leading to a generous, inviting finish. The De Villiers is the only vineyard-designate Pinot made from fully de-stemmed fruit. It is a towering wine of incomparable class and elegance. Simply put, this is a stunning showing from Calera. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024."

PinotFile: "14.5% alc. Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Deep, dark aromas of boysenberry jam, plum reduction sauce, spice, oak and tobacco. Enticing middleweight flavors of black cherries and dark berries, displaying the plush, vivid fruit that the Russian River Valley is famous for. Impeccable balance with well use of oak accents, offering restrained tannins, good length, and easy drink ability. Continues in the tradition of consistently excellent wines crafted by Rochioli cellarmaster, Terry Bering. California through and through. (6/25/12)"

'Very Good,' PinotFile: "14.5% alc., 300 cases. Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Very bright and spicy cherry aroma which builds in intensity over time in the glass. Ornate cherry flavor with accents of Chinese five-spice, cola, anise and oak, displaying soft tannins, no rough edges, and finishing with a hi-tone cherry presence and juicy acidity. More body and nuance the following day from a previously opened bottle. I would suggest cellaring for a year. (3/23/13)"

'2012 California Value Priced Pinot Noir First Team All-Americans,' PinotFile: "14.5% alc. Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Very seductive aromas of fully ripened cherries with hints of spice, leather and dark chocolate. Delicious core of black raspberry and black cherry fruit framed by toasty oak and a bright cut of acidity. The finish is crazy long: my notes say amazing! Beautifully composed and balanced. Reminds me of a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir in character but with better acidity typical of Anderson Valley. Impressive debut. (6/25/12)"
Producer notes: "Characteristic aromas/flavors: Blueberry, red earth, and nutmeg spice with hints of violet, toffee and oolong tea. Structure: Silky and generous entry, slate-like minerality, and muscular tannin on the Finish - a testament to high altitude winegrowing. 100% whole berry, no stems. Aged 9 months in French oak barrels (30% new)."

Producer notes: "The 2009 Tous Ensemble Pinot is an embodiment of the earthy, sweet beet root undertones that are indicative of Anderson Valley Pinot. Medium bodied with vibrant dark red fruits on the nose and palate, it delivers pure, focused flavors with a great lift on the finish from the acidity. Perfect to drink now or over the next 5-7 years. Alcohol 12.9%."
Not yet reviewed; 2009 vintage rated 90 points by International Wine Cellar: "Bright ruby. Subtly aromatic nose of cherry, mocha, cinnamon and musky herbs. Smooth and expressive, with dark cherry and spice flavors and an appealing pliant texture. Nicely concentrated and seamless, with very good finishing breadth and cling. Aeration allows this wine to stretch out so give it an hour or so in a decanter if it's on your upcoming drinking list. (May/Jun 2011)"

Producer notes: "[$45 list] On the nose cherry, spice and forest floor dance out of the glass and tickle the olfactory. The mouth is equally nimble as more fruit flavors laced with Asian spice skip across the palate. A medium bodied, feminine wine that illustrates the beauty of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. 10% whole cluster. Barrel aged 10 months in one to three year old French oak. 116 cases produced."
