2016 St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir [JS92][WA91]

"Attractive aromas of graphite and undergrowth here with a very attractively defined set of ripe red-cherries, as well as spice. The palate has very even-paced build with smooth, ripe tannins and plenty of fleshy, sweet, ripe cherries." 

"Medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard opens with cranberry sauce, blueberries, bergamot, dried flowers and orange peel with dusty earth and tree bark hints. It has a medium weight and perfumed fruits knit by grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing lifted." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2016 Freedom Hill is dark, almost opaque ruby red. The typical dark cherry and wet clay aromas are especially broad and complex. The palate is quite lively with concentrated fruits, dark flowers, roasted squash and hints of citrus peel. With all of the power on the palate, its finish is still fresh, bright, and clean. A beautiful vintage for enjoying now or into the future."
