Anthill Farms Winery, Anderson Valley (Mendocino County, California) 2022

 Anthill Farms entered the industry in 2003 with a focus on producing high-quality single-vineyard Pinot Noirs.  Their success has enabled them to expand winemaking operations to include this head-turner of a white wine.  Bright acidity and rich apple orchard fruit brings an elevated white wine with the feng shui of an apple cider.  This white blend still has a lot going on with lychee, nectarine, red apple, geranium, and honeysuckle notes.  The wine also benefits greatly from partial oak aging giving it a wonderful round mouthfeel.  The blend is comprised of 60% Pinot Gris, 20% Pinot Noir and 20% Gewürztraminer.  When Robert Frost gives you a fork in the road, follow the path towards Anthill Farms.
