Simply lovely pinot! Delicious dark sour cherry, strawberry and earthy notes on the nose and palate with silky texture and spice culminating in a long finish.

Typically superb offering of this vineyard from this producer. Fruit and acid led, as usual from Keefer Vineyard, but just enough richness to hold the edginess in check - probably ends up an actual medium-weight Pinot. It's all Russian River - bright fruit, enough earth to be interesting - but no mistaking this for Burgundy. Moreish. Ready now, might hold up another few years - but why wait?

So distinctive. Light and tangy, with some bright red strawberry balancing out the darker fruit. Zingy Pinot Noir, wonderfully made from superb fruit. Still lots of vibrancy in late '16, but might not have the weight that implies ageworthiness - ready to drink now.

I like deep/dark/complex PNs.....and this is one. It took a while to open up in a restaurant. One bottle left.

I really love Freeman's pinots. Great balance of fruit to acidity. Balanced. Layered and finished smooth and lingers nicely.
