APPY FRIDAY! Even if you’re in the know. Even IF you are on their mailing list, you have likely never seen this wine.

Anthill Farms already is ultra-rare, small production, and hard to find. But their Cabernet?! Highly recommended you add this to your cart and their other wines IN OUR STORE and check out before reading more, so you don’t miss out.

“we do not have a public tasting room. email us to inquire…”

Looking them up online, these are the words that greet you. Almost zero information about them. Anthill Farms is about as exclusive, underground, and avant-garde as a winery can get. Made in a taut, lean, terrior and mineral driven style, one sip and you will know why they are so in-demand.

Their wines are restricted almost entirely to their mailing list, with a small amount allocated to top Michelin starred restaurants like Quince, The Progress, The French Laundry, and Spruce.

But today only… we have a whole STORE FULL OF THEM!

Winesearcher recently listed them among the “The Best Value Sonoma Wines of 2025”. The Wall Street Journal calls them out as “The Rock Stars of Pinot Noir.” If they had tried this, they would add Cabernet to the title!

How did this miracle happen, you ask? Our dear Agent Brut has been a member of their list for years, and after hundreds (maybe thousands) of inquiries, they agreed to come by HQ to meet with us. Tasting through the lineup of wines, everyone was reduced to a humbled silence (even Agent Cru).

Agent Brut’s Take: - “Christmas came early this year. I felt like a kid again running down the stairs, knowing today was the day. About a decade ago, a friend and mentor in the wine industry (shoutout to Blair Roche) introduced me to Anthill Farms. It was one of those true “aha” moments—every ‘single vineyard’-designate I tasted offered something unique, each more compelling than the last. I’ve never missed an allocation since.

Today, I’m still in awe that Wine Spies gets to share Anthill Farms with you. This is a special one.”

And the Timbercrest Farms Cabernet – it was a revelation! First, even Agent Brut had no idea that Anthill made a Cabernet. Second, it was phenomenal. Made in a similarly lean, transparent style to their other wines, the net effect ripples with sinewy intensity. Black fruit, cedar, bay laurel, and spice box aromas flow seamlessly over the palate. It’s medium-bodied, fine-grained, and multifaceted throughout, with a savory finish that would give a great Bordeaux or Super Tuscan a run for its money.

A little more negotiating, and we convinced them. Our Operatives deserve the chance to try this glorious Cabernet.

Founders David Low, Anthony Filiberti, and Webster ‘Web’ Marquez met in 2003 working in the cellar at William Selyem. Boding over their love of wine and Pinot Noir, a road trip to Oregon together sealed the deal. They needed to produce their own wines. Not to call attention to themselves, but to highlight the best vineyards and terroir that Sonoma and Mendocino have to offer. In 2004, they made a scant eight barrels. And the rest… is history.

“These wines are gorgeous expressions of some of the top vineyard sites in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.” raves Antonio Galloni of Vinous.

Production remains very small and focused on terroir, with methods varying from site to site and year to year. If they don’t like the quality of a given vintage, they won’t release it. And it’s through this commitment to quality and focus on site-specificity that they’ve earned such a dramatic cult-like following.

Located in the Dry Creek AVA, Timbercrest Farms was planted with a massal selection of Cabernet Sauvignon clones (a traditional method of propagating the healthiest vines through cuttings) in 1961. Cabernet vines this old are nearly unheard of in California because yields fall precipitously at thirty years old, but the concentration and depth they provide is astounding. It’s possible because Timbercrest is a thoughtfully farmed collective making a wide array of farm-to-table products. And they easily meet Anthill Farms exceptional standards – producing a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon that is delicious and complex now, but with the bones to improve for up to a decade.

Hopefully, you already grabbed some, but if you didn’t, NOW IS THE TIME!

If you need more convincing, just ask Agent Brut. Guarantee he’s already blown his daughter’s college fund on multiples of everything!

92 Points – Wine Advocate “The pleasingly herbal, expertly restrained 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Timber Crest Farms is the ideal pairing for steak au poive. It has pure scents of blackcurrant, tobacco, cedar, bay leaves and floral hints. The medium-bodied palate is approachable and refreshing with fine-grained tannins and a long, layered finish. Drink it now and over the next decade. Drink 2024 – 2034”
