Freeman Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2018 750 ML

Medium ruby in color, it is scented of wild berries and rhubarb with pure notes of dried herbs, citrus and floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is silky and fresh with intense, spicy fruits and a long, layered finish.\n \n Producer Information\n Freeman Vineyard and Winery was founded in 2001 by Ken and Akiko Freeman in California’s Green Valley region. They produce a range of cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines from grapes sourced from both estate vineyards and partner growers. Total production is less than 5000 cases. The Freemans are also co founders, in 2011, of the West Sonoma Coast Vintners Association. This has successfully lobbied for the establishment of a new AVA, authorized in late 2019. The new zone extends along much of the coast of Sonoma (but does not include the Green Valley). When the business was founded neither of the Freemans had any practical experience in the vineyard or cellar. After years working with consulting winemaker Ed Kurtzman, Akiko now directs every aspect of Freeman's winemaking and viticulture. Akiko, originally from Tokyo, is a rare and possibly unique thing; an Asian female winemaker in the United States.
