Freedom Hill is located in the foothills of the coast range 10 miles southwest of Salem, Oregon. The Pinot Blanc vines were planted in 1993 and 2008 on well-drained very old sedimentary clay loam. It has a southeast exposure at an elevation of 475’ and benefits from heat rising off the valley floor during the day and cool ocean breezes at night.
TASTING NOTES: One-quarter of this wine was fermented in neutral oak, the rest in stainless steel. At 12.5% alcohol, the light, almost airy wine brings immaculate fruit flavors of apple and pear, with a pleasing, minerally mouthfeel. It offers the faintest suggestion of caramel as it winds down.
