TexSom – Judges’ Selection and Best of Show Varietal – Pinot Noir
94 Points and Editor’s Choice – Wine Enthusiast
Lumos and Temperance Hill are a match made in pinot heaven. This latest vintage opens with aromas of sweet raspberry pastilles and tart lemonade. It’s a winning combination. Tarter red raspberries show up on the palate, joined by mint and thyme flavors. The wine’s silky texture matches with plush tannins and lemony acidity.

All of the grapes used in our wines come from USDA/Oregon Certified Organic vineyards. Dai Crisp grows most of these himself and has been farming vineyards organically for 34 years, 25 of those years at Temperance Hill. This philosophy of using a natural approach with minimal intervention also predominantly influences our winemaker, Boone McCoy-Crisp.
