Vinous, 94 Points 

"An enticing blend of dried roses, peppery spice and woodland berries wafts up from the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard. This is vividly fruit-focused yet crisp in feel, with tactile minerals adding a crunchy sensation as tart red and blue fruits swirl throughout. It tapers off youthfully tense, leaving a staining of primary concentration while silty tannins frame the experience well." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points 

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard pours a vibrant ruby/magenta color and is highly expressive in the glass, with notes of framboise, candied roses, sweet herbs, and fresh earth. It’s vibrant and energetic on the palate, with a ripe but more linear feel, finely coiled tannins, and a tapered finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Freedom Hill is known for dark, elaborately pigmented wines with a wealth of fruit, generous mouthfeel and a dollop of tannins that gives the wine framework and dimension. While not a lightweight this is far from some bruising or sultry wine. This has intense red/black fruits, earthy spices and just a bit of grip. This will be excellent in its youth but will have solid footing and great upside for well over a decade." 

Alcohol: 13.3%
