The 2012 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard, from purchased fruit in Eola-Amity Hills on basaltic soils, is matured in one-third new oak. It has a very harmonious and pure bouquet that is more convincing than the Zenith Vineyard '12. It has a smooth and silky palate with a keen line of acidity. It is more backward than the Zenith Vineyard, quite solid in the mouth, with very good substance that lends it a long, meaty/dried blood finish. David Adelsheim preferred the Zenith Vineyard this vintage, but personally, I find the Temperance Hill more intellectual.
