{"product_id":"walter-scott-pinot-noir-freedom-hill-2024","title":"Walter Scott, Pinot Noir Freedom Hill, 2024","description":"If the neighboring Eola-Amity Hills give the bright, wind-cooled Pinots, Freedom Hill is the one with shoulders. The vineyard sits on the southeast slopes of an ancient uplifted seabed in Mt. Pisgah, Polk County, in the Willamette Valley, on well-draining Bellpine loam. It's also tucked out of reach of the Van Duzer winds that chill the hills next door, so the fruit ripens evenly and with real concentration, and Pinot from here is known for its structure and depth. Dan and Helen Dusschee founded the vineyard, and their son Dustin now runs it, dry-farmed and organic. Ken Pahlow knew the site well before he bought from it: he worked with its fruit for more than a decade at St. Innocent, and in 2012 he and Erica Landon began buying from two of its Pinot Noir blocks. Their winemaking stays out of the way. The wine is fermented with ambient yeast and 15% whole clusters, then aged 15 months in French oak, 35% of it new. This is serious Oregon Pinot that makes its case on Willamette terms, no Burgundy comparison required.","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50961126719545,"sku":"NYC-W-GCR-`GCRU90816-24`-102726-5","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5660_eee4eb53-edee-4af9-b079-bf927e0ad76b.jpg?v=1793395052","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/walter-scott-pinot-noir-freedom-hill-2024","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
