Martin Woods Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, USA 2022

A benchmark single-vineyard Pinot Noir from the iconic Temperance Hill site, this bottling offers vibrant red cherry and wild strawberry fruit with notes of rose petal, spice, and savory earth. Bright and lifted with silky tannins and a mineral-driven finish, it combines elegance, precision, and depth in a distinctly Burgundian style. A polished, terroir-focused Oregon Pinot with strong aging potential and serious appeal for collectors and Pinot lovers alike.

"The deep ruby-hued 2022 Pinot Noir Temperence Hill Vineyard is pure and one of the prettiest wines in the range, with compact, resonating notes of kirsch, raspberries, sweet earth, and floral perfume. It’s medium to full-bodied and offers more depth, with refined tannins and an expansive finish with a youthful plushness of primary fruit. It should only improve as it sheds some of its baby fat and reveals its more savory and mineral undertones." Jeb Dunnuck 96
