Occidental Wines Freestone-Occidental Pinot Noir 2016
The Freestone-Occidental Pinot Noir includes a blend of fruit from the Bodega Headlands, Occidental Station, and Bodega Ridge vineyards. It also shares the same winemaking techniques as Occidental's vineyard-designated Pinot Noirs; all of which are fermented with native yeasts and native Malo-Lactic bacteria.
The Freestone appellation wine expresses the same energy, precision, and purity of flavour that gives all of Occidental’s wines lift and perfume, along with the deeper soil tones that contribute to its complexity. Made entirely from free-run juice, it is delicious now and will develop nicely in bottle.
