It was Sine Qua Non assistant winemaker – Maggie Harrison, Frankl’s handpicked mentee, who after more than a decade learning from Frankl, brought the rules-be-damned playbook to Oregon to set the region on its head.
Like her Sine Qua Non mentors, Maggie’s winery in Dundee looks like a place that would interest Walter White, a completely unassuming and unattractive building on a residential street whose closest commercial neighbor is Lumpy’s Tavern down the road.
But in that landscape, her Antica Terra brand has been producing some of the most sought-after Pinot blends in the country, let alone Oregon. They don’t have a club. Just a first come, first served allocation list. Two emails a year and the wine lasts about 18 hours after they hit the send button. Maggie holds back a small amount of production each year for select restaurants like Eleven Madison Park, Coppo in L.A. and 67 Pall Mall in London.
Her 2016 Antica Terra Coriolis Pinot Noir is an intricate blend that is crafted by picking select barrels from Antikythera, Ceras and Botanica Pinot Noirs each AVA specific Pinot Noirs that retail for $120/each and consistently garner several 95+ pt scores. Drawn from two of the best vineyards in the state (Shea and Seven Springs) – this is a Pinot for the ages.
When the sample arrived two weeks ago with the price attached – I wasn’t sure it was right. Released at $60/btl, the lowest price I could find online was $47.99. Though I was only going to have 72 hours at my price, it will be significantly below that. This wine is almost exclusively sold to restaurants and is not even available to the allocation list. I say that to be realistic– it’s unlikely we’ll see this wine again. To get a shot at a true artist and one of the best Pinot Noir winemakers in the country, especially at this price — it’s an absolute steal.

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
95 Points, James Suckling – 94 Points, Wine Spectator – 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
