Lumos Temperance Hill Vineyard North Pinot Noir 2017 (750ml)

Dai Crisp has been farming the shallow, lean, basalt-edged soils of Temperance Hill for 21 years. This wine gives clues to its structure as you first lean into it, with its piney, slightly dusty aromas. The evergreen scent carries into the black cherry fruit, the textures tense with a mineral compactness and silky, seductive tannins. Its in great balance now, and will age beautifully.
