Item Description
Enjoy a lovely afternoon with a special guided tour of the Freeman Winery. Since 2001, Freeman has been one of the great pioneers of cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, charting a course to the western edges of California winegrowing, where the influence of the Pacific Ocean shapes the character of the wines. In doing so, they have helped to define a more balanced, sophisticated and thoughtful style of winemaking—a style that has been embraced by connoisseurs and collectors around the world.
Package also includes two bottles of Freeman wine:
2012 Freeman Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"Vivid red. Intensely perfumed raspberry and cherry aromas are lifted by a sexy floral note. Offers juicy red fruit flavors and a touch of spicecake, with tangy minerality adding cut. Closes spicy and long, with an echo of sweet red berries and smooth, harmonious tannins. This suave pinot is already drinking well." (6/ 2014)
Wine Spectator
"A rich, elegant style centered on vivid blackberry, mocha, anise and savory herb flavors. Gains depth and persistence on the finish and will benefit from short-term cellaring. Drink now through 2022. 1,345 cases made."
2012 Freeman Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
The 2012 Freeman Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is among the darker hues of this wine than has been seen over the years. The nose is right in line with what's expected from the Sonoma Coast: subtle, spicy, fragrant, complex and intriguing. Right away you will notice the high acidity on the palate, however the fruit ripeness of this vintage is pronounced and carries a great balance into the finish. The flavors are an interesting mix of cola nut, black currants, tart plums and some oak. This wine should be at its best from 2015 through 2024.
