Kelley Fox Wines Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA 2022
Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 is a deeply expressive and site-driven Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that shows both power and finesse. From the organically farmed Freedom Hill Vineyard, it opens with layered aromas of ripe boysenberry, dark cherry, blueberry, violets, and subtle spice, accented by hints of black tea and mineral lift. The palate is rich yet finely detailed, with a core of concentrated red and blue fruit, silky tannins, and vibrant acidity that carries through a long, energetic finish. The 2022 vintage shows more structure and intensity than many of her other bottlings, giving the wine both immediate presence and strong aging potential. Complex, evolving, and beautifully balanced, it is one of Kelley Fox’s more powerful and compelling Pinot Noirs.
"Darker ruby magenta-colored, the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard reveals expressive notes of crushed pine needles, black raspberry liqueur, and resinous herbs as well as dark stones and a hint of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, it has great spice and a ripe, expansive structure. An all-encompassing wine, drink it over the next 15 years." Jeb Dunnuck 98
