Antiquum Farm Juel Willamette Pinot Noir Oregon 2021 Rated 93VM

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 93
The 2021 Pinot Noir Juel is dusty and floral, opening with a savory blend of dried roses, cedar shavings and a hint of wild strawberry. It soothes with round textures and a silken personality as waves of opulent red berry fruits flow across a stream of cooling acidity. Chalky mineral tones add form through the long and structured finale as the slightest tinge of licorice fades. Drinking Window 2025-2032.
