2012 Antica Terra Pinot Noir Ceras
UNITED STATES / OREGON /
Wine Advocate | Rating: 94
The 2012 Pinot Noir Ceras is Maggie Harrison's mineral take of Pinot Noir (she actually uses the word |aerial| in her technical sheet). It does indeed offer an ethereal bouquet that is just so succinct: a carapace of dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit interspersed with cold granite, walnut and smoke scents that are beautifully defined. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, a lot of salinity and superb tension all the way through to the finish. What a wonderful Pinot Noir - the kind of wine I can guarantee you will finish to the final drop.Author: Neal MartinWine Spectator | Rating: 88
The earthy, licorice and tomato leaf flavors are more prominent than the dark fruit lurking behind them. Comes together into a generous finish, playing against serious tannins. Needs time. Best after 2016. 650 cases made.Author: Harvey Steiman
