So, Freedom Hill PN has always been a wine that always was so tannic and structured, that it was easy to mistake for a “weird” Cabernet back in the day. This 1999, nope, is nothing like that, yep, a little more structured, but effusive redfruits and lovely balance, definitely on point tonight!!

Aug 1st, 2023Dark-fruited, some earthy notes also, big structure and still somewhat tannic, as always, Freedom Hill shows almost Cabernet-like structure, needs more aging.

Jul 6th, 2021Deeply colored, shows that FH Pinot structure that is always so Cab-like, a bit of drying tannin in the finish, good, not great.

Aug 8th, 2020Dark color, extremely youthful for a 21-year-old Pinot, tannic, structured, as always, seems too tannic for an Oregon Pinot, should easily last for MANY more years!!
