Freelander comes from the perfect combination of Mike O’Connell, who seems to have the Midas touch in creating value driven brands and all-star California winemaker Larry Levin. Together, they’ve given birth to a number of brands you may have heard of, Pavillon, Grayson Cellars, Hanging Vine and Block Nine.
The Freelander wines are made to be immediately appealing and user friendly and they do just that. I tasted the Pinot blind the other day and I thought it was excellent but then I heard the price. I don’t know what’s a couple steps above excellent, but now it’s that.
The grapes for the wines are selected from several sources throughout California Larry makes the wine in St Helena. With over 30 years of experience making wines in Napa for Quintessa and Turnbull, the big, bold California style is what he excels at making. He takes great pride in producing wines that are driven by their varietal character and have balance, all while providing tremendous value.

A fresh, vibrant, easy-drinking Pinot Noir, the vivacity of this wine truly comes alive on the palate with notes of red cherry, red plum, cranberry and tart strawberry with complementary tones of chocolate, black tea, tree bark and dried leaves.

“The 2016 Poggio al Granchio Brunello di Montalcino is aromatically expressive of perfectly ripe cherry, sweet herbs, dried flowers, and stony earth. There is generous purity of fruit on the palate, with mineral-rich earth, and it had the most balanced and harmonious structure in the lineup on this tasting, with present but fine-grained tannin. I love this wine for its darker mineral edge in counterpoint with crunchy and ripe fruit. It is a super-pleasurable wine right out of the gate and will continue to be so over the next 20 or more years”

This is a gorgeous Estate Cabernet blend- richly aromatic with currents, plums, hint of violets and savory notes of cedar. At this young age it is showing all the depth of flavor and textural richness that are hallmarks of Diamond Mountain and Dyer Vineyard. It’s a classic vintage, hitting all the notes that you have come to expect from Dyer and Diamond Mountain. The grapes are grown in our 2.3 acre Diamond Mountain Vineyard in the Napa Valley.
Winemaker Marjorie Gallet’s Effet Papillon Rouge is a terrific blend of Grenache, Syrah and Carignane, harvested from the iron rich soil just outside of Rivesaltes at the base of Pyrenees. This one is a vibrant wine, with aromas of wild black raspberries and sweet spices. The mid palate is rich and velvety, with a core of sweet black fruit that finishes fresh, long and silky. At the price, it’s one of the easier no-brainer case buys we offer.
