Demuth Vineyard Pinot Noir 2005
Huh…. Always found his work the opposite of over extracted
@Joshua Fisher it all boils down to the kind of Pinots that do or do not fall into a persons wheelhouse.
@Joshua Fisher This one is now roughly 18 years in bottle and drank like it was 6 years in bottle. It was still big; which tells me something about it when it was still young. The fruits still very bold and prominent. I would also add that this was likely picked at somewhat higher brix’s level than I prefer as it was also still on the sweeter side nearly 20 yrs down the road.

I keep trying Anthill Farms in hopes of truly appreciating their craft. To this bottling, I’m sadly not there. They make decent Pinot but there are others better at the same price point or less.
2005 shows evolution but is still quite big. I would say it is overly extracted.
The nose shows ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, strawberries, raspberries and some blueberry hues. Soft dry soil, limestone, dry, crushed rocks, light baking spices, red cherry cola, dark, red, blue florals, red roses & liquid violets.
The body is round, ripe and lush; blackberries, dark cherries for days, strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate and blueberry hues. Soft dry soil, dry & fresh herbs, moist clay, limestone, dry, crushed rocks, light baking spices; clove, cinnamon, light nutmeg, vanilla, melted caramel, red & mid berry cola, mid, dark spice, dark, red, blue florals, red roses & liquid violets, nice rainfall acidity, well balanced, big structure-tension, elegant finish that lasts a minute and lands on fruit, herbs and earth.
