2023 Occidental Freestone Pinot Noir

"The 2023 Freestone-Occidental wine shares the same winemaking techniques as our vineyard designated pinot noirs. Crystalline, bright, mouthwatering, and a bit salty with a saline mineral finish, the 2023 Freestone-Occidental evokes juicy red berries and a near perfect balance of finesse and energy. It conveys outstanding precision and lift in the mouth and finishes vibrant and long with beautifully sculpted tannins. Its modest alcohol (13%) makes this wine a perfect complement to any meal. It is delicious now and will develop nicely in bottle." 98 The Wine Illuminati
