The Botanica cuvee will be produced only in the better vintages. The 2006 Pinot Noir Botanica is sourced predominantly from the Shea Vineyard (which Sine Qua Non was using until recently). Medium ruby-colored, it offers up a toasty, cedary, cherry and raspberry accented nose followed by layers of fruit on the mid-palate. Ripe, concentrated, and mouth-filling the wine is well-balanced, savory, and long in the finish. Drink this pleasurable effort from 2010 to 2018. The winemaker/partner at Antica Terra is Maggie Harrison who worked at Sine Qua Non from 1998 to 2006. The winery purchased a 40 acre property in 2005 and 2006 is the first vintage.
