  Antica Terra Pinot Noir 2007

  Snoothrank: Starting at $44^.95

  RP gave it 92 pts. I disagree. Great nose, but the palate doesn't deliver on what the nose starts. It's a weak pinot, far too mellow for me. Just OK. -Tasted at Marché Bacchus 11/14/09

Antica Terra was Day 2: Maggie currently makes her wine at Coelho in downtown Amity so we met her there and got to meet her staff. Great people. They were pumping 2008 AT to tank for final blend. We tried the 08 AT and the AT Botanica. Both were great wines. Very young obviously, with a lot of primary fruit that needs to settle into place. Great wines though. She also shared the 2006 Lillian Blue Label from tank, and the 2007 Lillian regular bottling. Both were smokin good. My first try of the Blue label. What a wine! This may belong in a different forum but these are my thoughts. I've written too much already, but do stop by Evesham Wood, Russ Rainey was a great host and his Pinots are always consistant for quality and individuality    (hide)

  Wow, some great properties. I would love to visit Belle Pente and Antica Terra in particular. Thanks for sharing the pictures but how were the wines?.

  Wanted to say hello to everyone. Here are a couple pics from my trip to Oregon ... Brick House, Belle Pente, Antica Terra/Lillian, Evesham Wood, and a view of the Cristom Vineyards. Enjo

  Antica Terra Pinot Noir Oregon 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Strange canned veggie aroma including the tin. A bit boring on the palate. Soft on palate with some berry fruit there, but a bit to short on finish. Some spice and tomato paste were found as well.

Read moreAnd away I go.... 2006 Faiveley Bourgogne 13% $20 Lean, ungenerous and acid ... 2007 Antica Terra Willamette This is a crazy wine with strong arugula, candied anise seed and medicinal notes on the nose but it works, setting off the subtle fruit perfectly. A really Burgundian, slightly funky style for the adventurous. http://www.snooth.com/wine/antica-terra-pinot-noir-2007/ 2005 Goldeneye Anderson Valley This is an oak bomb. Where's the fruit? Wheres the appeal? http://www.snooth.com/wine/duckhorn-goldeneye-pinot-noir-anderson-valley-2005/ 2007 Roessler Bluejay Anderson valley A junior fruit bomb this has tons of sweet fruit but is still balanced and bright. http://www.snooth.com/wine/roessler-cellars-bluejay-anderson-valley-pinot-noir-2007/ 2007 Roessler Hein Family Anderson Valley This is a bit closed but has impeccable balance and is developing great depth and complexity already. Look to be super! http://www.snooth.com/wine/hein-family-2006/ 2006 Alesia Sonoma Coast This is young but pure and balanced with nice tension in the mouth and wonderful aromatics. http://www.snooth.com/wine/rhys-alesia-pinot-noir-sonoma-coast-2006/ 2006 Roessler Griffin’s Lair Sonoma Coast Big, round and soft but with sneaky strucutre to the roasted meat, cherry and oak spice core. Solid http://www.snooth.com/wines/2006+roessler+griffin's+lair+sonoma+coast/ 2007 WillaKenzie Estate Cuvee Willamette Valley This is sooo fresh, fun and delicious - and consistent. It's one of the best values in Pinot today! http://www.snooth.com/wine/willakenzie-estate-pinot-noir-willamette-valley-2007/ 2006 Antica Terra Willamette Valley As good as the 2007 and more evolved and ready for prime time with a similar earthy, non fruit driven character that is compelling and not tiring to drink. http://www.snooth.com/wine/antica-terra-pinot-noir-willamette-valley-2006/ 2006 Roessler Brosseau Chalone Earthy and a bit more masculine styled than most Pinots this will blossom with another year in the cellar. http://www.snooth.com/wine/brosseau-2006/ 2006 Roessler La Encantada Sta. Rita Hills Superbly pure Pinot fruit in an elegant, seamless package with wonderfully bright and expressive fruit. http://www.snooth.com/wine/la-encantada-2006/ 2007 Roessler Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley Just classic Russian River Pinot with a powerful, mouthfilling palate and deep, earth and meat tinged dark cherry fruit. It’s a winner! http://www.snooth.com/wine/dutton-ranch-2007/    (hide)

Read moreAwesome aromatics with a beefy, black pepper tinged core that is accented by slight cola notes and lovely sweet/savory Burgundian fruit. On entry this seems a bit muddled with it's earthy presentation but quickly sorts itself out as the mid-palate brings together that earthiness with a bit of roast meat juiciness allowing the wild blackberry fruit to pop in all it's organic, herbal tinged glory. Finishes with good length and deep, dark fruit tones set off by a pumpkin pie spice note. Unusual and delicious. 93pts    (hide)

  Smells bizarely medicinal with candied anise seed, arugula, root beer, cola and watermelon but it works! Nicely balanced in the mouth with a natural if slightly fleshy feel.

A bit muddled on the attack with earth, roast meat and hay notes that yield to beautiful herbal tinged ripe dark cherry and black berry fruits. Finishes with solid length an a bit of pumpkin pie on the end. Not a typical fruit driven Pinot but complex and very well put together. 2009-2015 92pts    (hide)
