2016 Evesham Wood Temperance Hill Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., $36. Made from certified organic grapes. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Aromas of purple fruits, woodshed and blood initially, becoming more fruit driven over time in the glass. Fullbodied and a bit rugged as is typical of this vineyard, displaying an array of purple and black fruits backed by substantial tannins. A big wine with gorgeous fruit that is reticent upon opening. When tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle, the wine was more open and giving, with some mellowing of tannins. Score: 92. Reviewed July 8, 2019
