2021 St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Chardonnay Willamette Valley

Winemaker Notes:Complex, dense, yellow, floral and fruit aromas on the nose are accented by stony minerality across the mid-palate. Flavors of peach, dried apple, nutmeg flavors are rich and bright with a touch of orange marmalade. Texturally very broad across the palate, the viscosity lingers long into the finish.

Freedom Hill is located in the foothills of the coast range 10 miles southwest of Salem, Oregon. Oregon winemaker Mark Vlossak is justifiably acclaimed for his impressive single-vineyard Pinot noirs, and his touch with Chardonnay is no less fine.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2021 Chardonnay Freedom Hill Vineyard opens in the glass with a pretty blend of peach preserves and honeyed florals, complicated by hints of lime zest. It sweeps across the palate with silky textures and ripe pit fruits motivated by zesty acidity. A citrusy concentration lingers as the 2021 finishes long and spicy yet fresh. " (EG 1.24)
