Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards 2021 Maremma

Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards 2021 MaremmaThe 2021 Pinot Noir is fresh and lively with perfumed black raspberry and cherry aromatics wrapped in rustic forest floor notes. Juicy Bing cherry, savory herbs, and ripe dark berries create a complex and textured palate with acid structure and balance leading to a delightfully engaging finish. 95 Points James Suckling
