Haden Fig Description
Haden Fig, a boutique winery nestled in the heart of Oregon's Willamette Valley, is the culmination of Erin Nuccio's journey into the world of winemaking. Nuccio's path to becoming a renowned vintner began in Washington D.C., where he honed his appreciation for the quality and character of Oregon Pinot Noir while working at a highly-regarded wine retailer.
Driven by his passion for the craft, Nuccio went on to gain valuable experience in wine distribution in Massachusetts and formal education in viticulture and enology in California. Ultimately, he and his wife decided to settle in the Willamette Valley, where Nuccio had the opportunity to apprentice under Russ Raney of Evesham Wood, a respected winemaker who shared Nuccio's winemaking philosophy. This mentorship laid the foundation for the creation of Haden Fig, a label that allows Nuccio to express his own unique winemaking style and passion.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard entices with a sweet-and-sour mix of crushed wild berries, rose petals and blood orange. It's soothingly round, with juicy acidity and masses of ripe red berry fruits that swirl throughout. Expertly balanced, the 2022 finishes with amazing length and youthful tension, leaving a pleasantly chewy sensation and a film of fine-grained tannins. There's an inner harmony here that's something to behold-it promises many years of positive development.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Freedom Hill Vineyard comes from vines planted in 1996. Matured for 17 months in 15% new French oak, it has open aromas of pomegranate, blueberry, Earl Grey tea and woodsy, spicy undertones. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, earth-laced flavors. It’s structured by chalky tannins and fresh acidity and has a long, layered finish.
