Freeman Vineyard & Winery Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, USA 2018 Stolpman Vineyards - Private Collection The 2019 vintage opens withThe 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast comes partly from the Yu ki vineyard and partly from the Campbell Ranch vineyard, and was aged in 18% new French oak. Medium ruby in color, it is scented of wild berries and rhubarb with pure notes of dried herbs, citrus and floral perfume. The medium bodied palate is silky and fresh with intense, spicy fruits and a long, layered finish. 93 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
