2018 Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards

2018 Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards

Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California

The 2018 Pinot Noir highlights fragrant violet, rustic baking spices and cedar notes followed by juicy raspberry, black cherry and hints of red currant. Focused and youthful with a lifting acid length, black pepper spice and orange peel essence.

Wine Enthusiast: From a majority of estate-grown grapes and percentage of grower fruit, this impressive wine is juicy, textured, layered and lengthy. With a cool-climate crispness at its foundation, it unfurls lovely flavors of dark plum, wild strawberry and orange peel, finishing in a touch of nutmeg

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: Pale ruby-purple, the 2018 Pinot Noir Freestone Vineyards has alluring aromas of dried lavender and bergamot, aniseed, blood orange and amaro-like accents with a core of perfectly ripe red and black berry fruits. The palate is light-bodied, silky, soft and juicy but packed with nuanced flavor layers, and it finishes incredibly long. What an elegant, layered expression this vintage! This was aged 13 months in 39% new French oak.

Wilfred Wong: The 2018 Joseph Phelps Freestone Vineyards Pinot Noir is a standout wine. TASTING NOTES: This captures the beauty of fresh, vibrant fruit in its aromas and flavors. Enjoy its brightness and slight chalky note with grilled, wild salmon fillets. (Tasted: May 7, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Connoisseurs’ Guide: Vitality, brightness and very keen fruity precision rather than heady ripeness have for long been the hallmarks of Phelps’s Freestone Pinots, and, if those virtues are once again on display in this outing, the 2018 edition ups the ante a touch in terms of juicy, optimally ripened fruit. It displays an extra bit of richness and range that, combined with its typically firm and lively balance, guarantee many years of positive growth ahead. Enjoy it while still young for its vigor and verve, but know that appreciably more complexity awaits.
