winery of the month | lavinea
wine:
Eola-amity pinot noir 2022 Bottle 50 Glass 15
Dynamic and deeply structured, this red retains a sense of grace. Multilayered flavors of cherry and cranberry are laced with fresh violet and forest floor accents that persist toward steely tannins. Drink now through 2032. 94 points. Tim Fish, Wine Spectator
Eola-amity Chardonnay 2022 Bottle 50 Glass 15
Aged 10 months in first and second fill French oak, the aromas offer notes of toast, passion fruit, and kiwi, in some respects more reminiscent of a Pinot Gris than Chardonnay. Medium-bodied sharply-etched citrus and tropical fruit flavors follow. Lively acidity and mineral notes run throughout. It’s a fascinating offering of the variety, drinking best on the warmer end of the 55-60 degree scale. Pair it with grilled halibut that’s topped with a lemon beurre blanc. Critics Choice & 92 points Sean Sullivan, Northwest Wine Report
Temperance hill pinot noir 2021 bottle 85
From a certified organic, high-quality site, the absolutely stunning 2021 Pinot Noir Temperance Hill Vineyard pours a deeper jeweled ruby with purple tinge. It will also certainly do well to decant if opening any time soon, but it quickly blows off to reveal a gorgeous spectrum of aromas including kirsch, lavender, clove and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, with a weightless feel and a velvety texture, it offers pillowy tannins and fresh balanced acidity. This exceptional and harmonious red is a fantastic counterpoint to the Tualatin Estate Vineyard bottling. Bravo. 99 points Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com
