Description

Botanica is an expression of the fruitfulness and fertility of the flora of this place. The wine tends towards being sappy, sanguine, with a taste of wild rose, sour cherries, and blood orange. While it is tempting to define it solely by its compelling texture and lush personality, there is a structural element that is equally striking. This balance between extraordinary concentration and pronounced tension is the essence of the wine.

From this winery
The geology of the Antica Terra vineyard is pretty unusual. 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 and Coast Ranges. Here, the remains of a far older pre-historic seabed rise to the surface, leaving the vines to struggle, without topsoil, on top of a fractured mixture of sandstone sown with 40 million-year-old marine fossils.

The first vines were planted here in 1989 in a clearing within the oak savannah, yet today, our oldest vines look like infants. By being planted in a solid sheet of rock, they have become, quite literally, bonsai-ed. Instead of the gnarled trunks and robust canes one expects from vines planted over three decades ago, ours are almost comically undersized. Read more
