Evesham Wood Temperance Vineyard Pinot noir 2009

Review:

Red raspberry, bramble, and a hint of white pepper in both scent and flavors, this is Erin's most elegant 2009 Pinot. At first, it is deceptively simple, then it opens and just keeps going. The complexity is in the subtle notes - minerals, herbs, earth, field grass. The most transparent of his Pinots, with ethereal layers of flavor. - Jean

Temperance Hill Vineyard has had a long history with Evesham Wood. From 1989 until 2001 Cuvée J was comprised at least in part of Temperance Hill. It's a special vineyard with a distinctive character. This bottling showcases classic Temperance Hill notes of cedar, dried herbs and spice. With a nod to the past we have used the original "Tudor rose" label for this bottling. - Erin

Evesham Wood's Temperance Hill 2009 Pinot is Erin Nuccio's elegant, sophisticated take on an old vine vineyard known for its bright raspberry fruit flavors and vividly herbal terroir. Evesham goes back to making a Temperance Hill vineyard designate after a several year hiatus.
