The Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir captures the distinct signature of its cool, high-altitude, and wind-swept volcanic site. The volcanic soils are immediately apparent on the nose, which is resplendent with vibrant red and dark red fruits, followed by broad ground spice aromas born from the cooling afternoon winds. On the palate, the wine begins with moderate intensity before building momentum, ramping up with a generous core of sweet tannins, pungent dark flower petals, and layered baking spices like allspice, clove, and nutmeg. While beautifully expressive now, this structured bottling hides immense depth in its youth and is built to age magnificently in the cellar.

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard in youthfully coiled, slowly evolving with scant black cherries, grilled herbs and a tinge of crushed stone. This is racy and sleek with lean red berry fruits and tactile mineral tones, all guided by brisk acidity. It leaves a flowery concentration that coats the palate as gently grippy tannins resonate on. Patience will be required." —Eric Guido

"This elegantly balanced beauty will make you forget all about temperance. The wine’s Twin Peaks aromatic special of pie cherries and a cup of coffee lead to flavors of tart blackberries, lemon zest and a wee bit of black tea and balsa. Serve this wine with anything coming off the backyard grill." —Michael Alberty
