2009 Anthill Farms Tina Marie Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., $50. From a site in the Green Valley farmed by Ron Black and
Stephen Bessone.
·
Moderately deep reddish-purple color in the glass. Opens
with appealing raspberry on jam aromas, fading in the glass. The flavors are
more promising, with a tasty core of Morello cherry and black raspberry, an
herbal note and a good tug of citrus on the hi-wire finish. Good.

14.3% alc., $46. This Green
Valley vineyard is farmed by Ron Black and Stephen Bessone.
·
Aromas of green garden, green olive, and wild
berries. Redder fruit is the focus with a green tea note underlying the fruit flavors. Zingy acidity brings up the
finish which is a bit flat. Decent.

Complex
aromatics featuring wild strawberries, ripe cherries, wildflowers, black olive and exotic woods. Full-on attack of

2005 Anthill Farms Tina Maria Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc.. This vineyard is
located in the cool Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley and is farmed by Ron Black and
Stephan Bessone.

Flamboyant scents of confected cherries, violets and dried herbs that just wont quit. Herbdusted
deep red fruits with a hint of oak, a zippy acid backbone and a tangerine peel finish. Deeper and more
structured than the 2006 version. A nicely crafted wine that has plenty of aromatic charm. Prefers this over the
2006 vintage.
