WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This wine was in barrel for a little less than a year in around 15% new oak and a combination of once-five times used barrels. It has the deep red pigmentation, floral aromatics, intense mid-palate sweetness with structured and very fine finishing tannins. It is funny to us that this is our “regular” bottling of Freedom Hill simply due to the existence of our small clonal bottlings. By any measure this is a terrific, site-specific Pinot Noir from one of Oregon’s classic and historical vineyards. This has incredibly well-farmed material that gives the wine its great intensity and balance.
TASTING NOTES:
A quietly brooding red, featuring a structured backbone that's paired with deep blueberry and cherry flavors, accented by stony mineral and herb tea details. Drink now through 2028.
