97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2023 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard is powerful and savory, with notes of forest earth, gravel, dark stones, raspberry, and black raspberry. It’s angular and mouthwatering, with a salty, sanguine, umami-driven depth. Broad-shouldered and rich, yet not heavy, drink it over the next 15 years."

Us: Only the third Freedom Hill single vineyard from still has us asking, "where has this been my whole Pinot-collecting life?!" Her graceful style tames the beast that can be Freedom Hill—the vineyard's blacker fruits and more notable structure are whispers instead of shouts. But as it relates to Kelley's other Pinots, this is bolder in profile and volume with a melange of wild berries that coats your palate and marine sedimentary salinity that makes you thirsty for another sip. 

Kelley Fox: II’m thrilled to offer you my third Pinot noir from Freedom Hill Vineyard, owned and farmed by the Dusschee family. Only seven barrels of this wine comprise this bottling. It’s a dark medium rich red with an eye-clean gemstone appearance.  The nose is filled with gorgeous, dark berries (marionberry, loganberry, etc.) and cherries with ocean-fresh minerals, subtle spices, and appealing woodsy notes that continue into the mouth. There’s great depth and range to the 2023, and it’s beautifully structured and balanced. I love the coiled energy of this wine.

Our Wine Advice

Life's too short to drink bad wine.

We taste as much or more Oregon wine in a given year than anyone on the planet. We look for the needles in the haystacks, the wines you won't find in your local wine store. Wineries have long sought our help to sell their most limited, unique bottlings.

We are picky. We like to sell wines that we like to drink. We prefer to taste the wines sell over several days; we want to know how a wine will evolve, how it pairs with food. We want to know if it truly belongs in your cellar, in your glass, and we want to provide you with guidance on how and when it'll be its best.

Our goal is to describe wines in ways that you can actually relate to. We battle against overly flowery tasting notes. You know the kind. The ones that mention things that no one has ever smelled or tasted. They're mostly B.S. and they perpetuate snobbery that we don't like.

We give you the unfiltered truth about a wine. We believe wine isn't one-size-fits-all. We get to know your tastes and preferences so that we can recommend the right wines for you.

Testimonials

★★★★★

Avalon is a gem. The wine selection is both excellent and expertly curated. Better yet, Marcus and Andy invest the time to get to know their customers personally. So their recommendations fit you like a well-tailored suit (just more reasonably priced!).

Marcus and Andy's knowledge of the wines, wineries and winemakers of the area is encyclopedic and, in my experience, second to none. They have a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the industry and a knack for recommending wines that are 'in my wheelhouse,' but also the insight to direct me toward new discoveries. I wholeheartedly recommend them to both those in the know and those who would
like to be.

Andy and Marcus only sell wines they would drink themselves, they sell them at reasonable prices, and they take exceptionally good care of their customers. Ethics, value, service…the reasons we buy all our wine from Avalon.

These guys do an outstanding job of sourcing great wines at terrific prices. Their reviews are fun to read and quite on point without all of the nonsense. Whose ever tasted squirrel dung or asphalt anyway? Get on their email list and savor the experience; then tell a friend. That's how I became a dedicated customer of Avalon Wine.
