Antica Terra Coriolis Syrah 2019 750 ML

Antica Terra (meaning ancient Earth in Latin) is an 11-acre vineyard located on a rocky hillside in Oregons Willamette Valley. Founded in 1989, the winerys name is a nod to the unique geology of the region. In most of the region, vineyards are planted in the relatively deep, geologically young soils left behind by either the Missoula floods or the volcanic events that formed the Cascade Range. In this place, the remains of a far older pre-historic seabed rise to the surface, leaving the vines to struggle, without topsoil, amongst a fractured mixture of sandstone sown with fossilized oyster shells. All farming is done organically and carefully supervised by winemaker Maggie Harrison (formerly of Sine Qua Non in Ventura, CA).

Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
Meaty, savory, and loaded with tons of blackberries, blueberries, coffee beans, white sage, and crushed granite rocksthis is made in the culty, hedonistic style at a price that is simply unreal!
