Temperance Hill Pinot Noir

Oak bomb, smoke, toast, black pepper, licorice, ripe/bruised red berries and blueberries, minerals and iron. Pale ruby, medium minus acidity and tannin.

Big aromatics typical of '13, red cherry, slight cough drop, cinnamon note, high acid, moderate tannins, pomegranate, cranberry, and bright red cherry on the palate. Very nice.

This is so delicious, and a perfect end to the work week. It’s ruby red and medium bodied. Nose is a bit subdued, with woody herbs, hints of leather, and some raspberry/black cherry as well. Mouthfeel is smooth and rich with beautifully saturated black cherry flavor and a layer of all spice, bay leaf, and subtle leather. Just beautiful. Medium acidity and medium tannins. Long, splendid finish. Now I need to buy a few more bottles to see how this evolves. Day 2: Still beautiful. Getting some sassafras and strong anise flavors now with soft hints of leather in the background.

Had a chance to taste library vintages of this, patience rewards.

2021 vintage. Medium body. Expressive nose. As always, plenty of blue fruit in attendance. A bit smoother than expected, yet still rocking. 1.10.24.

Super tart. Cranberry, underripe cherry, underripe strawberry, and fresh raspberry. Medium bodied, low tannin, medium alcohol, high acid, and a long finish. Definitely a clean expression of the grape, but I’d prefer a little more post-fermentation aging and maybe a bit more oak barrel exposure. In any event, this 2019 is too young to drink. Give it a couple more years in the bottle.

Turkey 🦃 Day Wines. Oregon Pinot ready to go! Cheers 🍇🍷

Enjoyed. Would buy again. Classic Oregon PN berries coming through.

Evesham wood is very good.

2015 vintage. Black cherry and some blue fruits with substantial fine tannins that need time to resolve. Upside potential, but this needs time before we can see where this goes.
