2002 PINOT NOIR FREEDOM HILL VINEYARD

2002 PINOT NOIR FREEDOM HILL VINEYARD Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: 212 cases produced. One of Oregon's "Grand Cru" vineyards, Freedom Hill is planted in the foothills of Oregon's Coast Range on sedimentary soils that warm up early in the spring and dry out early in the fall. Freedom Hill yields robust, well-structured wines that age extremely well. "This is a muscular, masculine, concentrated wine. Big, intensely-flavored, and deep, it coats the taster's palate with black cherries and dark berries. This terroir generally fashions wines with firm tannic backbones yet Terry Casteel, much to his credit, was able to craft a Freedom Hill with tamed tannin while displaying its typically powerful fruit." (92) The Wine Advocate.
