This is the first bottle we opened from this vintage. Totally approachable and delicious. Freeman I has become one of our favorite CA Pinot noir vintners.

Lighter body w/ abundance of spice. Old world style. Word to the wise: don't enjoy with spicy sausage.

This is not Akiko, as Delectable has identified. It is the basic Sonoma Coast. I opened it last night, and found it too ripe for my taste. Tonight, an earthiness has come into play to offset the fruit, and I am enjoying it. Acidity is good and the finish is lovely with notes of anise along with the berry fruit. Freeman makes some lovely wines.
