the freestone hill bottling is one of dutton goldfield's biggest and most powerful pinot noirs, and the '06 is nearly as stunning as the magnificent '05. it just explodes in the mouth with succulent cherry and raspberry pie, mocha and spicy anise and pepper flavors, with fabulous complexities from smoky oak. terrific now, but the tannins will hold it for a decade.
