Anthill Farms, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2018

Feb 9, 2021

By Miranda Franco

 Anthill Farms is an exciting project that focuses on producing exceptional Pinot Noir from a broad range of North Coast vineyards.  Hawk Hill Vineyard is situated on the western edge of the Russian River Valley, a mere six miles from the Pacific coast, just east of the small village of Freestone.  The Hawk Hill 2017 Pinot Noir immediately opens up with super-expressive aromas of dark cherry, ripe plum, rhubarb, citrus peel, and dried spice.  The palate is medium-bodied and offers tremendous complexity.  It has an elegant texture and beautiful pure red fruits laced with tea leaves, and earthy flavors converge into a long finish.
