95 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard Wadensvil Clone has a spicier nose of pine resin and is lifted and bright on the palate. More linear and focused, it's tension-packed with coiled acidity and persistent drive throughout the palate, as well as more citrus. It's going to age well and deserves another couple of years in the cellar.
 
Winemaker Notes
We find that Wadensvil has a unique ability to bring red-fruited characteristics, both aromatically and in the flavors, even into environments where darker fruits are far more the norm. This push and pull sort of dynamic within the context of the other facets of the wine’s terroir helps create an extra level of complexity and nuance in the best situations. Certainly, here at Freedom Hill Vineyard, known for dark and powerful wines, this attribute creates a wine unique across the many bottlings we do from this site. While still containing the full textural experience of Freedom Hill this has a sense of calm to it that the wilder wines from here do not have. This is full on and demure at the same time.
