Freestone Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2007


Color: dark ruby

Nose: dark cherry, mocha, orange peel

Palate: intense upfront dark fruit & mocha with a noticeable ashy undertone. Well rounded. Bright and long finish w/ grippy tannin.

Alcohol: 13.5%

Purchased from: Freestone winery directly

Verdict: very intense & ripe fruit, well balanced. However, it seemed to lack some finesse and the restraint that some Oregon Pinot Noirs, e.g. Domaine Drouhin, have.
