Temperance Hill Vineyard is located very high in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. A cool site that ripens very late and is exposed to direct winds through the Van Duzer Corridor off the Pacific Ocean. These winds bring out sweet spice aromas, and the cool volcanic soil emphasizes dark red fruit notes. The production is down as we replant the last blocks lost to phylloxera (a root louse). We just had the pleasure of trying this wine for the first time since bottling and were blown away by how beautifully it is showing.
