Score: 94Vintage 2023The Wine Advocate The 2023 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard was fermented with 30% whole clusters and matured for 11 months in 30% new French oak. The nose is bursting with pomegranate, raspberry, bergamot, mushrooms and juniper. The medium-bodied palate is crunchy and perfumed and has fine, chalky tannins, fireworks of fresh acidity and a long, detailed finish. 200 cases were made.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 94Vintage 2023Decanter This Pinot from the North Block at Temperance Hill, the legendary organic site in the Eola-Amity Hills, Jackson picks the southwest facing block, and fully destems it, and the easten facing block, picked 5 days later is done with whole clusters, its all Pommard clone, planted in around 1994.Effusive red floral aroamtics, and upright accents of raspberry leaf and freshly chopped mint. It's tremendously juicy fruit on the palate, with tart red berries and ocean salinity, it's got edges to the tannins on opening, and a rusticity to the texture which lingers on the mouthfeel. Continuing on with spicy wild strawberries and white pepper and a sweet raspberry finish.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
