94 points Paul Gregutt: "A very fine Freedom Hill, loaded with bright cherry fruit, backed with clean earth and ripe tannins. Rich and perfectly structured, this is a terrific complement to the Croft bottling from a nearby-vineyard. The Mount Pisgah AVA is new and may be unfamiliar, but these vineyards, in a southwest corner of the Willamette valley, have long and esteemed histories. This is forward and fruit-driven, fresh and balanced, with enough depth to cellar well for a decade or more."

94 points Vinous: "Youthfully coy, mixing dried flowers with nuances of autumnal spice and lavender pastille. Refined and floral in character, it offers silken textures and depths of savory wild berry fruit that coat the senses in primary concentration. The finish shows dramatic length and structure as fine-grained tannins flex upon the senses, leaving liquid violet tones to echo."

A famous Willamette Valley vineyard, Freedom Hill occupies a special perch within the Haden Fig lineup: it is both the richest and most structured of their single vineyard Pinot Noirs. Dense, heavenly black fruits vibrate with intensity while notes of cherry flourish—think the plump ones of summer and your great uncle's cherry pipe tobacco. There's so much wonderful fruit to love in vintage '23, plus classic Willamette fresh-turned earth and hints of Freedom Hill saline minerality. 100% Pommard clone.

2022 vintage notes

There's something special about the '22 vintage in the Haden Fig cellar. We first tasted it in the base-model Willamette Valley Pinot noir, which we called "dive-in delicious— the best vintage of Haden Fig Willamette Valley Pinot in ages." The same praise applies to their Freedom Hill single vineyard—YUM!

This is so inviting right away: the raspberry and black cherry flavors have an extra supple creaminess to them. Fresh earth and lovely minerality comes out with more air but this remains focused on delicious fruit.

This showcases the small 1 acre parcel of 28 year-old Pommard clone in the famous Freedom Hill Vineyard.

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 refer 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.
