Anthill Farms - Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast Peters Vineyard 2021

This trio of ants—Marquez, Anthony Filiberti and David Low—met while working at Sonoma’s Williams Selyem. Says Marquez, “We realized that we have the same approach: using Pinot Noir—the most ‘transparent’ grape in the world—to communicate the way vineyards from cooler areas create distinctive wines.” The partners themselves farm many of the small plots where they buy their grapes, and the results of this labor of love are remarkably seductive wines that combine concentration and finesse. Now that the company has grown from producing 200 cases in 2004 to 1,800 this year, the trio’s work is becoming ever more demanding. Notes Marquez, “It’s a good thing we’re young and don’t need much sleep.”

The 2021 Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard, from 38-year-old vines, combines powerful fruit and structural elegance. It opens slowly on the nose to reveal wild berry preserves, charcuterie, black tea leaves and bergamot, with nuances of botanicals emerging as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate is velvety and fresh, and despite bursting with expressive, spicy fruit, it maintains an ethereal sense of weightlessness.
