- ddf68 - 01-31-2001 Freedom Hill is dark ruby in color, good fruit nose, flavors of ripe, dark berries. There are substantial tannins, but there is more than enough fruit to balance/buffer them. Good drinking now but with a nice future. Anyone know how the Temperance Hill and O'Connor compare with this wine? The Willakenzie does not have the ripe year characteristics of the Freedom Hill. It's made in a more austere style which will, if the '97 is any indication, develop a silkier texture and more expressive flavors with a couple years in the bottle. ddf - Drew - 01-31-2001 What's the varietal? Drew - Bucko - 01-31-2001 Pinot Noir...... Bucko - ddf68 - 02-01-2001 Oops, sorry, Pinot Noir. ddf |
