The score for 2012 Antica Terra Antikythera Pinot Noir is 91 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2011 Antikythera Pinot Noir was known as the Estate Pinot Noir until the 2009 vintage and is named after (and I quote Maggie here) an Ancient Greek computer (I would Google it...). It is the only wine made from Maggie's own vines on shallow soils in the Eola-Amity Hills and raised for 16 months. It has a sensual and quite voluptuous bouquet with pure black cherries and a light marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with notes of brown sugar and fennel infusing the red and black fruit. It is very smooth in texture with sappy mulberry fruit that somehow reminds me of a fine Barolo. Interesting...very interesting. The score for 2012 Antica Terra Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Botanica is 94 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2012 Pinot Noir Botanica is Maggie Harrison's more fruit-driven take on Pinot Noir, instigated after she noticed a difference with a small number of barrels in her debut 2007 vintage. It has more sappy, "sanguine" red fruit compared to the Botanica, to use her own vernacular. It has a very pure bouquet that offers gorgeous wilted violet and seaweed scents that combine beautifully with the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with notes of candied orange peel, dark plum, molasses and a hint of fennel. It is extremely well balanced with very fine acidity and real tension toward the finish. This is another outstanding wine from Antica Terra.
