2016 LUMOS Five Blocks Temperance Hill Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., 143 cases, $25. Released October 2018. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Complex and satisfying nose revealing aromas of black cherry, boysenberry, fertile earth and smoky oak. Velvety in the mouth, with a discrete charge of black cherry and blackberry fruits underlain with a subtle savory thread. Nicely balanced, with integrated tannins, well-managed oak and a modest finish. A solid wine at this price that doesn’t try to do too much. Score: 89. Reviewed July 8, 2019
