2008 Antica Terra Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc.. · Moderately dark reddish purple hue in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, sous-bois, spicy oak and wine cave lead to a moderately rich palate of black cherry, black raspberry and anise flavors. Still showing firm tannins but quite enjoyable, especially for its showy, fruitfilled finish. Peaking now, but could hold short term. Score: 91. Reviewed February 8, 2015
