Temperance Hill Vineyard
Planted 1981 * Eola-Amity Hills AVA * Elevation: 850ft
Planted by the Koo family, and managed by Dai Crisp since ’99. Temperance Hill is perched at the very top of the Eola-Amity Hills with unrelenting wind gusts from the Van Duzer wind gap. These Pinots have an aromatic potpourri of berries, citrus fruits, pine, cannabis, and peppercorns.
Josh Bergström's Notes
*Updated Spring 2017!
Ruby red in color with complicated aromatics of pepper, Douglas fir pitch, currant, and reduction. Brightly fruited with tart cherry, black raspberry and currant; showing fine grained and plentiful tannins, grapefruit pith and citrus oils that Temperance Hill is known for. With a strong core of dark, ripe fruit and mouthwatering acidity, the finish has a distinct umami perceptions. Temperance Hill is a stunning and mysterious wine that promises great things with time in the bottle.
