The 2009 Botanica surrenders greater aromatic complexity, is richer and more extracted than the Antica Terra cuvee, and has outstanding volume and length. This nicely proportioned Pinot Noir will benefit from 1-2 years of additional cellaring, an unusual characteristic for most 2009s. In just a few years, Maggie Harrison has managed to place Antica Terra on my short list of Willamette Valley’s finest producers. The estate owns 11 acres of vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA and leases an 8 acre parcel from Shea Vineyards in Yamhill-Carlton. Tel. (503) 244-1748; www.anticaterra.com
