Lavinea - Pinot Noir - Temperance Hill

Overview: The Temperance Hill Vineyard, planted in 2001, is located above Bethel Heights between 750-900 feet above sea level and is planted on volcanic jory soils, basalt mother rock with iron-rich soils to a southern exposure. Its high elevation and cool situation produce wines of exception, with outstanding aging potential. The wines see spontaneous yeast fermentation and 100% malolactic before aging in roughly 30% new French oak for six months.

Tasting 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. 

Pairing: Beet salad with goat cheese, salmon, barbeque pork ribs

Points: 95, James Suckling

Format / ABV: 750 ml/13.6%
