Country: US / Freestone Vineyards Estate Grown
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Joseph Phelps / Sonoma Coast
This shows the power and purity of the winery’s coastal Pastorale and Quarter Moon vineyards, in this cool vintage that allowed for long hang time. Although some coastal Pinots were plagued by rot, this one was not, resulting in a wine with delicious raspberry and cherry notes, accented by new French oak. It’s very fine, complex and enjoyable now.
