A richer reflective ruby hue, the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard is a savory wine with notes of wet stones, graphite, pine, fresh black cherries, mixed berries, and tea leaf. It is very appealing on the palate early on. with refined tannins and a juicy feel. It’s very attractive now, and it’s not going to slow down any time soon. Drink 2024-2040.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard opens with tarry, meaty tones that give way to wild berry fruit, mushrooms, dried herbs and potpourri. The light-bodied palate is delicately styled with understated yet detailed flavors, silky tannins, juicy acidity and a long, spicy finish.

The Vineyard: Freedom Hill Vineyard is located in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range, toward the western edge of the Willamette Valley, about 15 minutes southwest of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. With its Bellpine Loam soils, the vineyard yields fruit with pronounced dark fruit characteristics—such as blueberry, blackberry and plum. The resulting wines have an acid and tannin profile that allows for lasting beauty and structure.

Planted in 1982 by owners Dan and Helen Dusschee, the grapes from Freedom Hill make their way into the wine portfolios of some of the most esteemed, artistic wineries in the Willamette Valley. Dan and Helen’s son Dustin is now carrying the torch into the next generation as a vineyard manager, supporting the vineyard as it grows in acreage and prestige.
