Freeman Vineyard & Winery
Freeman Vineyard & Winery produces Pinot Noir from California's Russian River Valley, a region celebrated for cool-climate expressions of the variety. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir in its various forms: the Gloria Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, a dry rosé of Pinot Noir, and the Yu-ki Estate Pinot Noir. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. Pinot Noir from this region typically exhibits the varietal's hallmark elegance—bright acidity, silky tannins, and red fruit character—shaped by the maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings of the Russian River Valley. Freeman's focus on single-varietal expression reflects a commitment to exploring what Pinot Noir can express across different vineyard sites and winemaking approaches.
