Coastal sites like Freestone appreciate long growing seasons like 2016, which give the wine an extra dose of sweet juiciness to match the richness the small berries provide. The nose pops with bright cherry, dried cranberry, and pomegranate red fruits, underlain with pretty wisteria and nutmeg. With time in the glass, darker notes of black cherry, cardamom, and a beet-like savory note come up, providing an intriguing complexity to the aromas. The intricacy of flavors continues in the mouth, with rich cherry/berry fruit dancing with sandalwood/cinnamon spice, all swathed in firm but velvety tannins. The depth and breadth of the wine is outstanding, and the finish lengthy. Try it with a mushroom tart, duck confit, or potato and bacon au gratin. Be sure to set aside some extra cases of this age-worthy wine for your cellar.
