Antica Terra Coriolis Chardonnay Willamette Valley 2018

Anyone who knows this wine will already be off dropping a case into their cart. CORIOLIS is the rare “second label” from rockstar Maggie Harrison, former assistant winemaker at Sine Qua Non and genius behind her winery, Antica Terra (on a personal note, this is my wife’s all-time fave, so you know I’m getting a case!).

The Antica Terra project was established in 2005, when three friends stumbled upon a piece of land that was something they had never experienced before. It could have been the subtle, tranquil ocean breeze, or the fossilized oysters hiding among the boulders, but they knew they found something special. With Maggie moving up to Oregon to head up winemaking, it was game on! Today, it’s one of the hottest wineries anywhere!

Coriolis is the gorgeous, affordable second wine (especially today at a whopping 50% OFF!), and it’s a fantastic follow-up to the lip-smacking 2017 it’s a fantastic follow-up to the lip-smacking 2017 we sold a few months back. Rangpur limes, honeysuckle, crisp pears and complex layers of toast and stony minerality...a sensational buy that is truly rare to see at retail. Given how fast the Antica Terra Pinot Noir sold out when we offered it a few months ago (yes, we heard all your praise!), we expect this to sell through very quickly!

Only 27 cases today...color us STUNNED (again)!

PAIRING IDEAS: The pears and baked apples beg for a rich, creamy pairing -- we think grilled scallops or a whole trout with lemon and fennel would be amazing.

MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Saint Motel's "My Type" or "Cold Cold Man" -- let’s keep the good vibes rolling after this lovely three day weekend!
