Quite bright and fresh with a notable pure cranberry color. Crunchy red fruits with a strong herbal piney note that I assume is whole cluster. Not integrated at this point and a bit distracting. Good bones though. Give it some time.

Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of three days. Consistent throughout but it seems a little more showy the first two days. The 2021 Temperance Hill pours a bright ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of strawberry, Luden’s “Wild Cherry” Throat Drops, red flowers, and hot rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now with some patience or through 2036.

Nose of pomegranate, mace, and pickle juice. Palate of red berries, cranberry, and white miso umami. Ripping acidity.
