Delicious freshness abounds from the Walter Scott Freedom Hill Pinot Noir. This site, planted in 1981, sits in the foothills of the Coast Range in the Mt Pisgah appellation. Loads of purple florals, smoky blood orange, and pine sap set off an aromatic fireworks display from the glass. The palate retains a savoury intensity as smoky clove and wild mint tussle over sappy red berries and blood orange freshness. It's a gorgeous Pinot Noir that makes a strong case for the calibre of the appellation and this beautifully farmed site. (Drink between 2024-2042)

A reflective medium red color the 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard is open and pretty in the glass with pristine notes of wild raspberries pressed flowers and rocky earth. Ken Pahlow?s favorite Freedom Hill since 2019 this cuvée is typically more black-fruited but I really like this pretty vintage. Medium-bodied and well-structured with ripe defined tannins refreshing acidity and a slightly broader shouldered feel it?s a fantastic vintage for this wine. Drink 2025-2040. 300 cases were produced.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard lifts from the glass with a remarkably pretty blend of dusty rose dried strawberries and crushed stones. This is racy in feel with a solid core of zesty red fruits and tactile mineral tones all motivated by vibrant acidity. It finishes with violet inner florals leaving a staining of primary concentration beneath an air of lavender and sweet spice. - By Eric Guido on May 2024 Ken Pahlow and Erica Landon of Walter Scott will do whatever it takes to deliver the highest-quality wine and the best representation of any given vintage. Their 2022s are wildly successful despite the year's many challenges. Pahlow went into great detail
