Lavinea Temperance Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 (750ML)

95 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Limpid ruby-red. Spice-accented raspberry and cherry aromas, along with hints of woodsmoke, incense and candied flowers. Silky and focused on the palate, offering concentrated red fruit and floral pastille flavors that turn sweeter as the wine opens up. Fine-grained tannins lend shape to an extremely long, spice-tinged finish that shows outstanding clarity and building florality. Isabelle Meunier told me that she is not inclined to do punchdowns for her Temperance Hill as "there is plenty of structure there already" and she doesn't want to exaggerate it by working the fruit too hard. (31% new French oak)" 6/19
