Occidental Freestone-Occidental Pinot Noir 2023 is a nuanced expression of its coastal vineyard site in California`s Sonoma Coast. Crafted by Winemaker and Owner Greg LaFollette, known for his focus on organic viticulture and sustainable practices, this wine showcases the attributes of its cool-climate terroir. The Pinot Noir grapes are hand-harvested, revealing aromas of blood orange, spice and dried herbs. The inclusion of whole clusters during fermentation adds complexity, while fine tannins deliver structure. This wine reflects the coastal influences that characterise the Freestone region, offering a distinct profile that speaks to its origin.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Freestone-Occidental is bursting with vibrant scents of red cherry, cranberry, black tea, conifer, pipe tobacco, saline and generous spicy nuances. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with layers of succulent fruit, and its expressive, earthy undertones are reminiscent of a coastal forest. It has a lacy frame of tannins, bright acidity and a long, tobacco-laced finish. It’s a touch more open than the rest of the 2023s and will be approachable sooner.
