Ripe and elegant with freshly sliced strawberries, cranberries, spices, smoke, mixed floral and hints of scorched earth. Clean and focused with wonderful racy acidity and a spicy, mouthwatering finish. Nine of the thirteen vineyards from which Freeman sourced fruit in 2011 are represented in this year’s Akiko’s Cuvée with Jim Pratt’s Sexton Road Vineyard contributing the highest percentage. This is a classy Pinot that still needs some time to flesh out, although it's darn good right now. (Best 2014-2024) - June, 2013 (JD)
