Freestone Hills Pinot Noir

Sonoma Coast Vineyards

Sonoma County

As Freestone Hills Vineyard is planted to Dijon 115, 667 and 777 Clones, this vineyard is a study in contrasts. The later ripening Dijon Clone 667 offers characteristic notes of red cherry, tart raspberry, refreshing acidity and lift across the broad palate. Clone 115 affords a dusty nose and hints of earthiness and spice, while Clone 777 affords structure and dark fruit character. Combined, these three clones layer complexity and verve into the finished wine.

Tasting Notes
