Freestone Vineyards — the Pastorale and Quarter Moon vineyards in the coastal town of Freestone — has been the heart of Joseph Phelps's "True" Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir since 2005. The 2022 was fermented with about 10% whole clusters and matured in 35% new French oak: floral aromas of red fruit and savory herbs, boysenberry and cherry on the palate, balanced acidity and fine tannins.
Why buy: 4,420 cases of a 92-point estate Pinot from one of Napa's founding names — this is Joseph Phelps outside its Cabernet comfort zone, and the cool Sonoma Coast is exactly where it belongs. Compare it with other Joseph Phelps wines, or explore more red wine at Del Mesa Liquor.
