Richly flavoured entrees like hearty pasta dishes, steak, chops and chocolate match well with this dark-red fruited, earthy nuanced and solidly structured Pinot Noir.
Freedom Hill Vineyard is located in the foothills of the Coast Range, 10 miles SW of Salem, Oregon. During the day warm air rises from the valley floor ripening the skins. At night, cool ocean breezes act to retain acidity. Planted on old sedimentary soils, the vines have a SW exposure at an elevation of 520’ to 580’. Our Pinot noir comes from two blocks, one planted in 2004 with Pommard and Wädenswil and one planted in 2008 with 777.
93 Points, James Suckling
Notes of chocolate-coated red berries with ground spices, dried citrus rind and raw mushrooms. It’s full and creamy on the palate, with tight tannins and dense, fleshy dark fruit on the mid-palate. Meaty and muscular and little chewy at the end.
