92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards was fermented with around 10% whole clusters and matured in 35% new French oak. It has inviting aromas of red and black cherries, pipe tobacco, mushrooms and dark spices. The medium-bodied palate is supple and juicy with alluring layers of fruit, spice and earth and a long, flavorful finish. 4,420 cases produced.

Winemaker's Notes

Vibrant red fruits define the nose with fresh cherry and pomegranate seeds at the forefront, complemented by hints of nutmeg and cardamom adding nuanced complexity, while bright raspberry notes provide depth and richness.

Classic pairings include roasted chicken, duck, and salmon. Mushrooms, particularly in risotto or as a side, are also excellent choices.
