Walter Scott Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA 2023

Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 is a beautifully detailed, site-driven expression from one of Oregon’s most historic vineyards, planted in 1981 on ancient marine soils in the Mt. Pisgah AVA. Aged roughly 15 months in French oak (about 30% new) with a touch of whole-cluster fermentation. Produced in very limited quantities, this is a precise and age-worthy Pinot Noir that captures both the pedigree of Freedom Hill and Walter Scott’s signature style—elegant, mineral-driven, and quietly powerful.

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard from Mt. Pisgah Polk County pours a jeweled red hue and is pure and inviting, with elegant, layered notes of raspberry coulis, dark stones, pressed flowers, and fresh mossy earth. The palate is medium-bodied, with lovely elegance and a saturating feel, refined tannins, and a long finish. Drink 2025-2040. It’s made from Pommard and 115 clones that have been co-fermented."
