Love & Squalor Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir '17

From Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills comes this age-worthy Pinot Noir that has blossomed beautifully with time. The 2017 vintage offers evolved aromas of cherry, truffle and forest floor that unfold to layers of raspberry, cola and spice on the palate. Having earned 94 points from critics, the wine showcases perfect balance between fruit complexity and earthy nuance, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity that have softened gracefully. The finish lingers with tea leaf and mineral notes that speak to the volcanic soils of Temperance Hill. Now at peak drinking window but holding well for 3-5 more years, this is Oregon Pinot at its most contemplative.
