2022 Anthill Farms - Pinot Noir Sonoma Harmony Lane
The 2021 Pinot Noir Harmony Lane Vineyard is a touch reticent from its recent bottling and takes time to reveal scents of cranberry and blueberry and nuances of forest floor and dried lavender. Medium-bodied with polished tannins and energetic acidity, th...
2022 Anthill Farms - Pinot Noir Sonoma Peter's Vineyard
Dark red color. The low yields of the vintage are apparent here. Darker flavors of cherry liqueur, rose petal, cinnamon, black tea and wood spice are usual from the start. After and hour of being open aromas and flavors begin to jump from the glass and co...
2022 Anthill Farms - Pinot Noir Anderson Valley Baker Ranch Vineyard
2022 Antiquum - Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Passiflora
Just 500 cases made. Tropical isn’t a tasting note we typically use with Pinot Noir we taste, but it’s pretty much impossible to describe this wine without mentioning ripe and tangy passionfruit. Also “concentration,” “intensity,” and “mouthwatering bala...
2022 Antiquum - Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Luxuria
Only 400 cases made. In a relative sense. Yes, the fruit here is gloriously dark and deep and is wrapped in aromas and flavors of exotic spice, incense, rose petals and more. And the mouth feel is velvety, broad, and luscious, with the ripe, spiced, frui...
2023 Antiquum - Pinot Noir Willamette Valley Juel (750ml)
The 2023 Juel displays a sense of movement through the entire spectrum of the vineyard. The higher, ethereal tones from the edges of our vineyard are displayed in delicate notes of soft violets, and zesty blood orange dance across the palate. Meanwhile, from the heart of the vineyard, deeper, sultry flavors of plump, juicy plums, vibrant raspberries, and the earthy whispers of the forest floor unfold like a well-kept secret.
Juel masterfully intertwines the contrasting melodies of our vineyard into an enchanting symphony. Bound by an electrifying current and an effortlessly elegant foundation, you are invited to join in the revelry of each sip.
In the distance, a coyote laments…the fruit for Juel is hand-harvested in the dead of night to ensure they arrive at the winery fresh, vibrant, and alive. After a three to four-day cold soak, spontaneous fermentation begins with native yeasts brought in with the fruit from the vineyard. The voice of the vineyard is further coaxed to life in the cellar by daily hand punch downs bringing the voice of this fruit into song. The wine is then gently pressed and barreled down into French oak barrels (30% new) for ten months before blending and bottling.
