A mixed 6 case containing three bottles of 2021 Freestone-Occidental and one bottle each of the 2020 single-vineyard bottlings detailed below.
2020 Pinot Noir SWK Vineyard (1 bottle)
Captivating bouquet of wild red bernies, crushed flowers, and fresh thyme. Savoury as well as floral, with layers of red and darker berry tones. Flavours of tiny alpine strawberries and tart red currants have a salty edge to them. Turns even more savory and saline on the long finish )winemakers notes)
2020 Pinot Noir Running Fence Vineyard Cuvée Catherine (1 bottle)
Luminous ruby color in the glass, like a jewel. There is a distinct marine influence here, like ocean brine, iodine, and tidal pools at low tide. Aromas of of tiny red and black berries, laced with a violet floral note . On the palate, vivid flavors of black raspberry and black cherry are lifted by neon blood orange (winemakers notes)
2020 Pinot Noir Bodega Headlands Vineyard Cuvée Elizabeth (1 bottle)
Vibrant, very pure red aromatics of red raspberry. rose petals. and crushed strawberry. Extremely high-toned and scamless with a superb concentration of fruit. It's salty, red fruit flavors are beautifully defined and focused. Finishes with great energy and exquisite balance (winemakers notes)
2021 Freestone-Occidental Pinot Noir (3 bottles)
The 2021 Freestone Occidental Pinot Noir a very bright, high-toned, marine-influenced wine. Crystalline, vivid, mouthwatering. with a salty mineral finish, the 2021 Freestone-Occidental evokes juicy red/purple berries and a near perfect balance of finesse and energy with beautifully sculpted tannins. It is delicious now and will develop nicely in bottle. Its modest alcohol (13.3%) makes this wine a perfect complement to any meal.
