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.

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.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
