Love this wine! Great aromatic characteristics, big body, sweet tannins that coat your entire mouth on the finish! Giampaolo Tabarrini is an amazing winemaker. — 11 years ago
SO DELICIOUS. — 12 years ago
Beautiful dark crimson red, slightly cloudy. Awesome nose of very good intensity, and a beautiful array of fruity and exotic aromas. Shoe polish and cherry cola primary aromas. Secondary scents of manure dark chocolate or cocoa. Very good presence upon entrance in the palate, with tanginess in the tip of the tongue that evolves marvelously, showing great grip, very pleasant acidity, good balance, great length, and complexity to fill it up, and coat you palate, leaving you with a very long finish, and sensations of chocolate covered cherries, and then cocoa beans and expresso flavors at the end. This is not an entry-level wine by any means. It is complex, intriging, very food worthy, and beautiful. Well made, well designed wine, with good harmony, great grip, and long, sweet tannins. 92+ pts. — 12 years ago

Smokey meat aromas and faint menthol on the nose. Generous flavors of black cherry, white pepper, and cedar coat the palate. Nice tannic backbone helps out with a lengthy finish. — 11 years ago

Stewed blue fruit and spice. Mouth filling without the coat. — 11 years ago
The bright ruby '08 Antica Terra Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is firing on all cylinders. A vibrant nose of cinnamon, red cherries and berries, violets and forest floor. Complex and concentrated cherry cola, red plum and brown spice flavors coat the mouth. Impressive energy and balance lead to a lingering and spicy finish. — 11 years ago
