Joseph Phelps Freestone Pinot Noir - 2022 (750ml)

Produced since 2005, the Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards Pinot Noir represents the "True" Sonoma Coast wine movement. In the late 1990's, a search for vineyards led Joseph Phelps Vineyards further West to the town of Freestone on the Sonoma Coast, where few vineyards existed at the time. The Pinot Noir grown here opens with floral aromas of red fruit and savory herbs, has balanced acid and tannin structure, and lingering boysenberry and cherry notes.-Winemakers Notes

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. 92 Points, The Wine Advocate
