A fantastic Oregon Pinot from the former assitant at Sine Qua Non! A must try.
The winemaker behind the reinvented Antica Terra is Maggie Harrison, formerly assistant winemaker of Sine Qua Non, the cult winery in Santa Barbara. Maggie gained considerable experience there with making big-style wines, and with Oregon Pinot Noir from the Shea Vineyard. The new Antica Terra 2006 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is a blockbuster that will change how you look at Oregon Pinot! Its gushing with intricate fruit flavors balanced by high-quality toasty oak. A voluptuous texture thats long and layered through the middle. It's almost a fruit-bomb wine, but the acidity lends pizzaz and keeps things lively, fresh, juicy and balanced. This is a wine with real character and that will unquestionably capture the atttion of Oregon wine fans, and of wine critics.
