What's up fellow Wine Nerds! So if you are one of the few who follow along my blog, you would know that Wine.com is one of my favorite places to get wine. If you live in the states, I would implore you to sign up to their Stewardship member service. You pay 48$, and you get free unlimited shipping for a whole year. 1 bottle, or a few cases, free! Then not only that, their selection is endless. But on top of all that, being a Stewardship member, you also get offers from wineries that only do allocations, or rare hard to get wines. Allocation wine is where you sign up to a winery's mailing list, and then you wait to be able to purchase a bottle. Some are instant, and some you have to wait anywhere from 2-15 years! But at Wine.com, you have access to some of these hard to get wines.
Anthill Farms is one of those wineries where you have to buy direct from them for many of their bottling's. Since I am a Stewardship member, I have access to a few of these, of course before they sale out on the site, which they normally do. After tasting this Pinot, it is easy to see why! This Pinot is on the medium side of the spectrum, very earthy. Lots of cherry, and even some rose petals. Just a great example of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. I am hearing that 2019 was a great year for all Pinot's in the state, and so far I have to agree, CHEERS!
