  January 30, 2022 - Taken to a restaurant for a friend’s birthday. Opened not decanted. Starts with some funk that blows off quickly. Still going strong though at it’s peak; dark cherry attack; light to medium weight in body; some black licorice on nose. Ends with a dark cherry finish Good +

  October 7, 2017 - Anytime the table is set for 5 or more, we break out a magnum and last night was no exception. We decanted the magnum through a vinturi and let it sit while we drank some chardonnay. Red fruit on the nose, the palate was predominately dark cherry with spice. The finish was long and full. The wine showed no sign of age and was consistent from the first glass to the last. Served with a combo of grilled London Broil and oven roasted chicken and of course my fantastic feta mac & cheese with crunchy tomato olive crumbs.

  March 10, 2017 - If you read my 07 Keefer notes, I decided to pull this one also as I thought it might be over the hill or flawed. Opened not decanted: fresh dark tastes of black grapes with dark cherry notes. Medium weight in body but ends with a harsh and choppy finish. Good on Day 1.
  
  Finished on Day 2: the wine was the same but the finish resolved to silkiness. Good to Very Good.

  October 17, 2013 - We have been going to Freeman for a few years now--we developed a friendship with the (now former) "assistant" winemaker (he was only assistant in name, but that is for another post), Eric Buffington. Eric moved on to another winery so that he could be closer to his family, but opening this bottle very much reminded me of the time we spent in Freeman's cellars, tasting wine and comparing notes on our in-laws. The wine? My wife was not going to drink, but once she saw it was a Freeman, she gave me a smirk and then got up to get a glass. Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com
