The nose is perfumed and lifted, with fragrant raspberry aromas. Medium-bodied, it's supple and delicate, showing fine acidity and purity of fruit. Poised. fresh and long. At 335m elevation, Yu-Ki is Freeman's coolest site, and small berries assure the wine's intensity.

Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2019 Yu-Ki Estate Pinot Noir features notes of warm cranberries, black raspberries, and lavender with hints of crushed rocks, mossy tree bark, and cracked black pepper. The medium-bodied palate has a sturdy frame with grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy.

Mouthwatering acidity and firm tannins give a hearty, structured feel to this plum- and cherry-scented wine. Its grippy texture, sour cherry and cranberry flavors will pair especially well with protein- and fat-heavy dishes.
