St. Innocent Freedom Hill Pinot Noir 2021

This dark ruby wine begins with rich dark cherry, sweet earth, cocoa, and hint of balsamic. Very broad and rich flavors of dark spice, dried Royal Anne cherries with lip smacking ripe tannins that fill the front of your palate. The red fruit flavors become sweeter as the wine moves to the back of your mouth with soft and juicy acidity and red floral perfume notes creating a lovely balance to its power. Easily age-worthy for up to 15 years, it is lovely now.

Always my choice for grilled red meats, the flavor profile suggests its usual match with chocolate may be a stepped up with this vintage.

93 Points - James Suckling

A generous, robust and super-concentrated red that’s alive in black-cherry flavors on a vivid, acid-driven texture. Moderate to full tannins and a full body add to the power and depth of this impressive wine from Mount Pisgah in Polk County.

93 Points -Wine Enthusiast

Balanced and packed with lively acidity, the Freedom Hill will revive the most jaded palate. Its aromas of blackberries, cherry blossoms, wet stones and seared steak are a meal, followed by a main course of dark raspberry, bay leaf, blood orange, cedar flavors and velvety tannins. Enjoy with grilled portobellos.
