"Produced since 2005, the Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards Pinot Noir represents the "True" Sonoma Coast wine movement. In the late 1990's, a search for vineyards led Joseph Phelps Vineyards further West to the town of Freestone on the Sonoma Coast, where few vineyards existed at the time. The Pinot Noir grown here opens with floral aromas of red fruit and savory herbs, has balanced acid and tannin structure, and lingering boysenberry and cherry notes." —winemaker

"So bright and energized, showing strawberries, dark cherries, spices and dried rose stems. Medium- to full-bodied with lively, linear acidity and a vivid finish. So delicious to drink. Drink now." —James Suckling
"Aromas of wild strawberry, fresh cranberry, cocoa powder, and orange zest highlight the nose of this elegant and energetic Pinot Noir. The palate balances flavors of tart cherry, pithy citrus, plum, cedar, and flowers across a long and structured finish. Give this some time in the cellar and serve with roasted pork and blackberry coulis." —Wine Enthusiast
"The 2023 Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards contains 34% grower fruit. Matured for 10 months in 34% new French oak, it has open, inviting scents of rhubarb, red and black plum, woodsmoke, juniper and mushroom. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and spicy with silky tannins. It’s balanced by mouthwatering acidity and has a long, layered finish. 4,625 cases were made." —Wine Advocate
"There’s youthful juiciness to this red’s core of cherry and pomegranate, while threads of red tea and singed anise race through. Gets a kiss of toast on the finish but lets the fruit keep the upper hand. Drink now through 2030." —Wine Spectator
