Antica Terra
Obelin Pinot Noir
13β Antica Terra Obelin Pinot Noir.
Maggie Harrison was the assistant winemaker at Sine qua Non. Decanted it for a hour.
Ruby red in color.
Aromas of ripe red cherry, cranberry, rose, sandalwood, spot of earth. The nose sells this Pinot!
Medium weight.
A core of red fruits & ripe cherry. Secondary notes of violets & baking spices throughout the palate. Elegantly styled(somewhat light on its feet) with supple tannins & a robust finish, that builds richness as it opens up in my glass (20 minutes) π€.
Had to write about it. Another very well-made wine. Cheers to all.

Jul 22nd, 2016Intensely floral aroma. Strawberry jam mid palate with a fig driven resolution. Modest tannin, but overall delicate.

Apr 16th, 2016Damit, a great new world Pinot. So rich n complex, so fruity. Itβs deep. Halfway, there was a funky note that passed. Yellow n red fruit. Mild, perfectly balanced tannins.

Feb 7th, 2018Really super average, and a terrible QPR. Apparently this is all Shea, but more density then fruit here and very little delineation.

Jan 21st, 2017Fresh Bell pepper and holy blueberry. One of the most refreshing reds ive had out of Willamette. Some earth content, but not the initial taste and feeling. The fresh fruit is amazing.
