The 2024 Walter Scott 'Freedom Hill Vineyard' is full of tension and concentration, shaped by a demanding growing season. An April frost and cool flowering period naturally restricted yields, resulting in a remarkably dense and complex fruit profile. Sourced from the ancient marine sedimentary soils of the Mount Pisgah AVA, this vintage balances its natural power with an intensely vibrant, laser-focused structural framework.
For the discerning collector, it delivers a stunningly complex aromatic profile featuring notes of curry leaf, split pine, and ginger shavings wrapped around a core of sliced nectarine. The palate is defined by its signature salty, briny minerality and a taut, gently tannic finish that rivals grand cru Burgundy. It is a precise, high-acid bottling built for longevity, making it a compelling acquisition for serious enthusiasts of terroir-driven domestic white wines.
