Antiquum Farm

Although a relative newcomer (the first commercially bottled vintage was 2012), this winery’s pure and complex Pinots, has quickly caught the attention of a number of Oregon Pinot followers, including myself. The wines are made from fruit grown on its own, organically farmed, horse-tilled and sheep-tended and -fertilized vineyard, Owner/winemaker Stephen Hagen is detail-obsessed with his land and its maintenance (check out the thorough website, which is much more about farming than wine) so, unsurprisingly, his Pinots are on the unadorned side. They are also polished, in the best sense, which I wish were the case with more wineries around the world that obsess on farming, often of the Hocus-Pocus and even witchcraft school, while neglecting basic care and common sense in the cellar. The ‘17s here, while still extremely young, look to be a big success and are worthy successors to Hagen’s highly impressive ‘16s and ‘15s. Production here is small so the best bet is to get on the mailing list.
