"Production Notes
Freedom Hill Vineyard is located in the foothills of the coast range, 10 miles southwest of Salem, Oregon. The site is protected from strong coastal winds by hills to the west. It has a southeast exposure at an elevation of 450-500' and benefits from heat rising off the valley floor. The wine comes from a block at the north edge of the vineyard planted in 2004 with Pommard and Wadenswil clones on well-drained, silty clay loam.
The grapes were fermented in a small tank after one day of cold maceration. The wine aged for 16 months in 32% new French oak barrels and was bottled without fining or filtration.
Crop Level 2.6 tons/acre
Harvest Date: 10/13/08
Bottled: March 2010
This Pinot noir complements a wide variety of full flavored foods. It is especially good with richly flavored red meat entrees - roast beef, duck, and leg of lamb. When served young, this wine is best decanted or allowed to breathe for several hours. It will benefit from up to 10 years of bottle age.
Mark Vlossak, winemaker"
