St. Innocent Freedom Hill Vineyard Chardonnay 2021 Review
We absolutely fell in love with St. Innocent's Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, so it makes sense we swooned over the winery’s Chardonnay from the same site. The vineyard is located in the foothills of the coast range in the Willamette Valley, benefiting from warm days and cool nights. The result is a savory wine, with aromas of herbs and ginger on the nose along with some lemon curd for good measure. The palate is extremely focused and has excellent depth and acidity working in tandem. The mouthfeel is lush with a tannic frame so it doesn't lush-out.
