94 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Bright ruby-colored, the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard Dijon 115 Clone comes from vines planted in 1982 and offers notes of sweet sage, black raspberries, fresh mossy earth, and a sweet cedar spice. The palate is electric in its energy and fills the palate and expands it, with very fine tannins and notes of cranberry. It's a lovely wine that I find very appealing now, and it's going to age with ease over the next 12 or so years.
 
92 Points Vinous
The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard Dijon 115 Clone is peppery and floral with dusty rose, violet and foreign spice. Softly textured and round, it washes across the palate with savory red berries and hints of sour citrus, adding a cheek-pinching tension toward the close. Chalky minerals linger as the 2022 tapers off long and classically dry. 100% Whole clusters.
 
Winemaker Notes
This, like nearly every 2022 we made, has a uniquely sumptuous quality to it in its youth. This has always been the most forward of the Freedom Hill bottlings, even more so than the Freedom Hill classic bottling and in 2022 that attribute definitely stands out. This wine will age beautifully but for those drinking it young there is hardly a price to be paid at all! Red and black fruits fill up the fore palate and work all the way to the back of the wine where the tannins provide the necessary definition and texture to elevate this wine to the lofty standards it has had since our first bottling of it in 2012.
