Occidental 2021 Freestone Occidental Pinot Noir

As of 12/22 this is young but shows tremendous potential, almost super barrel sample. The nose is taut with sweet oak, black cherry, raspberry and a hit of savory notes. The palate is moderate for a Pinot Noir with dark cherry, and a lifted raspberry kirsch character. Cannot wait to see where this evolves. D&M Tasting Notes

The Freestone-Occidental pinot noir includes a blend of fruit from our Bodega Headlands, Occidental Station, and Bodega Ridge vineyards. It also shares the same winemaking techniques as our vineyard-designated pinot noirs. All our pinot noirs are fermented with native yeasts and native Malo-Lactic bacteria. Winery Notes
