Joseph Phelps “Freestone” Pinot Noir 2021
This majestic new Pinot is brimming with ripe raspberry, cherry, blood orange and fresh herbs, leading to a silky textured palate, with layers of currant, black tea, sweet baking spices and vanilla that crescendo with a creamy finish. Reminiscent of favorite Kistler or Kosta Browne, this gorgeous discovery is perfectly enjoyable now (decanting recommended prior to 2025) through 2029+. – April 2023
Joseph Phelps Winery
Phelps' Freestone Pinot Noir property is located on the far Sonoma Coast near
legendary vineyards for Kistler and the wines offer similar style and craftsmanship.
After a tasting session with the affable Will Phelps and their talented winemaker Justin
Ennis (formerly at Williams-Selyem), we can assure you that this Pinot significantly
over-delivers on quality considering its relatively humble price tag.
