I like Pinot Noirs that have not been manipulated. The wine in the bottle reflects the fruit which reflects the vineyard...perhaps without irrigation.
To the extent that my judgement is reliable based on a 2-ounce pour recently, here is a Pinot Noir that I was taken with.
I look forward to receiving my stash so that I can (hopefully) validate the results of my brief sampling.
Does anyone have opinions on this bottling? Or this producer?
Freeman Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2007
Medium red color,
Rich cherry and spice, cinnamon notes, nice earthiness.
Slightly tart cherry, round red fruits, rich and full, spicy punctuation, good grip and acidity, somewhat silky texture, pleasing nimbleness, ageworthy, true to its (apologies!) varietal.
Good length to a full finish.
