WTN: 2009 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir Some vineyard Somewhere

[David M. Bueker]

Nice. Not thrilling but nice. No sense of anything other than being another nondescript Anthill Pinot Noir.

Sad, but true.

I recall a few years ago that you were quite entranced by Anthill Farms PNs. Is the blush off the rose, has their style changed, or have other producers overtaken them in your affections?

Others have overtaken them for my taste.

As time has gone on I prefer a more structured or at least more differentiated wine. The Anthills are very soft, and I cannot tell a Comptche Ridge from a Campbell Ranch from a Peters, etc. They all taste like soft, fruity Pinot.

I get more out of wines from Rhys, Littorai, Ceritas, Kutch, etc.
