From a certified organic, high-quality site, the absolutely stunning 2021 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard pours a deeper jeweled ruby with purple tinge. It will also certainly do well to decant if opening any time soon, but it quickly blows off to reveal a gorgeous spectrum of aromas including kirsch, lavender, clove, and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, with a weightless feel and a velvety texture, it offers pillowy tannins and fresh balanced acidity. This exceptional and harmonious red is a fantastic counterpart to the Tualatin Hills Estate Vineyard bottling. Bravo. Drink 2025-2045.
94pts Wine Spectator
Impeccably structured and savory, with black cherry and savory underbrush notes that show hints of smoked meat, building tension and richness on the way to medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030.
Winemaker Notes
Dark garnet, bright and brilliant to the rim. Altogether more dense aromas of red fruit potpourri, floral incense, and earthy minerality. A powerful entry reveals tight, concentrated dark cherry and black fruits overlayed on a firm bed of refined tannins w/fresh, mouthwatering acidity that provides lift and length. Super aging potential.
