Had this the day after Thanksgiving. Just as with the Shea, the 2003 Freedom Hill is not my favorite vintage, although Freedom Hill is a vineyard that I have traditionally liked (although not a much as the Seven Springs). Fortunately, the Freedom Hill showed more elegance than the Shea the day before, and the fruit was not nearly as unctuous, yet the vintage character seems to be that of very dark plum and berry fruit. The secondary and tertiary characteristics are still amiss in this wine though, so for now, it seems tightly knit and somewhat simple.
