Goodfellow Family Cellars "West Field - Temperance Hill" Pinot Noir '22

The West Field in Temperance Hill is a unique terroir. Steep and facing West into the late afternoon sun and the coastal winds coming through the Van Duzer Corridor, the block was first planted in 1983 on the old single high-wire trellis (now with both original, own-rooted vines, and interplanted young vines replacing those lost to phylloxera.) - Marcus Goodfellow

The 2022 Pinot Noir West Field Temperance Hill dazzles the senses with a burst of savory herbs, sweet peas, woodland berries and flowery undergrowth. It is full of zest energy, almost nervous in feel, with masses of tart wild berry fruits that give way to rosy inner florals. A sour cranberry concentration lingers along with gently grippy tannins, leaving the mouth watering for more.
