The 2022 Anthill Farms Campbell Ranch Vineyards Pinot Noir is a red wine hailing from the Sonoma Coast sub-appellation of California's North Coast region. Produced by Anthill Farms, this wine exemplifies the characteristics expected from a California Pinot Noir, with a moderate alcohol content of 13.4%.

This wine, sealed with a traditional cork, is still in its early stages of development. According to Erin Brooks of Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, who awarded it 91 points, the wine shows promise for the future. Brooks notes that the wine "opens with some savory reduction," indicating initial aromas that may seem a bit closed off right after opening. However, with sufficient air exposure, it reveals a more complex bouquet of "red berries and blood orange aromas."

On the palate, this Pinot Noir is described as "light-bodied" with a "bright and citrusy" profile. The wine's structure is defined by "chalky tannins" and a subtle presence of "planky oak," which suggests a nuanced use of oak barrels during its aging process. Brooks advises patience with this wine, recommending a couple of years of cellaring to allow it to harmonize and fully express its potential.

While the initial impression may require some time to develop, the 2022 Anthill Farms Campbell Ranch Vineyards Pinot Noir seems to be a wine with a promising future. As it matures, it is expected to integrate its elements more seamlessly, offering a more cohesive and expressive tasting experience. Overall, this Pinot Noir represents a solid example of the varietal from a respected producer within the Sonoma Coast region, making it a wine to watch for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
