2011 Anthill Farms Abbey Harris Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

13.4% alc., $48. Abbey Harris is a 2-acre vineyard located 1,100 feet above the town of Boonville and farmed by Dona Abbey and Dan Harris. · Medium reddish-purple color in the glass. Aromas of red cherry, slate and bark. Middleweight flavors of dark red cherry with an underpinning of humus and oak. Soft in the mouth with substantial tannins which tend to wrestle with the fruit. Reasonably good cherry-driven finish. This wine doesn’t currently deliver a message, but may surprise with more time in bottle. Score: 88. Reviewed December 18, 2013
