2019 Patricia Green Cellars Perspicacious Cuvée Freedom Hill Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.3% alc., $150. One fermenter of Dijon 115 from the Heritage Block. First effort for this wine. 100% whole cluster fermentation. Aged in 25% new French oak barrels. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Waves of ripe fruit perfume including black cherry and blackberry along with woodsy spice and floral lift. Richly fruited in a mid-weight style sporting flavors of black plum, boysenberry and blackberry with a rare beef, umami tone. There is quenching acidity and wholesome tannins, and a very long finish with trailing tannins. The whole cluster blends seamlessly into this wine. Spectacular when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle. An excellent reflection of the terroir of Freedom Hill Vineyard based on my experience in tasting many wines from this vineyard. Score: 96. Reviewed May 30, 2022
