Bought this from Wine Access in the fall of 2016 for somewhere between $29-$35 depending on the number of bottles a group of us purchased in total (can’t recall how many). What I do know is now I have two left and would’ve been happy with more. This wine is hanging on just fine, and is getting to that elegant and graceful phase. Still has good fruit, great acidity, and yes tannins, suggesting plenty of life still ahead. These screw caps age wines so slowly. Interestingly the front label has no indication of Freedom Hill vineyard, only Liberty Bell.

Made in a modern style, not at all rustic. This is still very fruit driven and not showing much secondary flavors. I have to say that I do not agree with those who believe this it is at its peak. Good but still has a way to go.

Agree with dbdeparis and chomsky. Drinking well but could hold another 5+ years.
