Freestone Hills is a sought-after site for Pinot Noir, and this wine shows why, with delicate cherry, dry earth and powder aromas that lead to a viscous palate balanced by racy acidity that delivers the promise of the nose. The finish is long, bright and well integrated. This is a wonderful food wine, and at a nice price for its quality. A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
