Walter Scott Freedom Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2022 (750ML)

98 JD / 95 DE

From a vineyard that Ken Pahlow calls his favorite, the bright silver/yellow 2022 Chardonnay Freedom Hill Vineyard is more detailed on the nose, with perfectly balanced reduction, white pepper, citrus blossoms, lime zest, pristine green apples, and delicate toast spice. It’s balanced with a highly focused feel and has pristine, great length, an elegant, linear feel, ripe acidity, and a beautiful texture. Stash this away and come back to it over the next 10 or more years. 425 cases were produced.- Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck

Reductive notes of smoky lime and flint announce the aromatics of this Chardonnay from Mt Pisgah's Freedom Hill Vineyard. The elegance and austerity of this mineral-rich wine spring forward with complimentary sea air and grilled pineapple aromas. The palate is lively, bright, and mineral-driven, as gobs of briny oyster shell touch off laser-focused citrus and smoky chipped flint.-Clive Pursehouse, Decanter
