Granville "Temperance Hill Vineyard" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2023

Decanter : 94 Points

(4/27/2025) 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. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035.
