Raptor Ridge Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 Review
This wine is like a wonderful quilt of Pinot Noir selected from different slopes with different exposures. The soil is awesomely chaotic and may even be a bit volcanic. To be able to blend from these sites must be fun because we are digging results. Beautiful bright berry fruit with a little bit of ripe cherry and a hint of vanilla from oak on the nose. The palate is also bright with active acidity and a juicy lively vibe.
