Brilliant color, tannins gone, fruit in a perfect place. original price tag $22. Wish we had lots more. No hurry to drink as it has lots of life left.

excellent, good fruit, balanced, light tannins. Wish I had more than 1 bottle left. These wines need time!

big fruit and length, tannins gone.

10/30/2023 - dave kammerer Does not like this wine:

Not at all similar to the 2020 or 2022 vintages. Off aroma and flavor, harsh ashtray taste. Same experience with another bottle.

9/18/2023 - dave kammerer Likes this wine:

Pleasant every day drinker. Soft tannins, good color, could probably hold up for a few more years.

9/17/2023 - dave kammerer Does not like this wine:

Very acidic and not enjoyable for me. Not sure ageing will produce better balance.

8/21/2023 - dave kammerer Likes this wine:

fruit has faded but still a pleasant drink. top fill, good color with little browning.

Outstanding fruit, tannins fully resolved, opened 3 hours but not decanted. wish I had more. Superior to the 1991 Dunn Napa which was past its prime and also the 1992 Beringer Private Reserve, also fading.

easy drinking pinot with good fruit

3/25/2023 - dave kammerer Does not like this wine:

No pinot character, could not drink, poured half into soup.

Paired with seared tuna, excellent! continues to improve with great fruit and intensity. I hope ther is a 2022 version.

tart cherry, great fruit no sign of age I usually drink my Anthill after 5 years but maybe not ageing them long enough.

flawed bottle, not drinkable. Nose was OK but there was a harsh aftertaste. Maybe TCA?

excellent! Very good fruit, still some structure, good nose. These 2013 Anthill pinots are really excellent!

Just OK, not much fruit, will not re-buy.

Decent everyday cabernet but not as good for the $$ as the Daou Paso bottling. Faded after being open for two days. Good color and fruit.

excellent bottle, good fruit, balance no hurry to drink if you have more

Fantastic bottle, pure intense fruit tannins resolved, this is why I bought lots of Rhys. I wish all of the bottlings were this good.

Opening the bottle filled the room with amazing pinot aroma, WOTY so far. Great fruit and no sign of decline.

very good but paled in comparison to the 2009 Carlisle Dry Creek PS

5/31/2021 - dave kammerer Likes this wine:

drinking perfectly now, much better than the 2014 Carlisle Palisades PS consumed at the same dinner. Tannins resolved, still great fruit, excellent color.

classic syrah, beautiful nose, good fruit

9/24/2020 - dave kammerer Does not like this wine:

advanced color, poor fruit not what I expected. After 2 days in the fridge the color is now correct and the flavor does not seem oxidized, for the remaining bottles I may decant and see what some air time does.
