Country: US / Akiko’s Cuvée
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Freeman / Sonoma Coast
A beautiful Pinot Noir. It’s so light bodied, so silky in the mouth, that the richness comes as a surprise. Endless waves of raspberry and cherry purée, gingersnap cookie, buttered cinnamon toast, vanilla and sandalwood. Just a delight to drink, and should develop slowly over the next 6–8 years.
