Evenstad Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Elegant Ruby color with red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for about 12 months in French oak, signature blend of grapes from Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVA's. On the palate flavors of cherry and black raspberry with notes of herb, licorice and wet stone notes. Soft dusty tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes. Very Nice! Drinking well now! — 10 days ago

See my prior notes. For a gnarly vintage, few complaints here. — 15 hours ago

As rule of thumb, yes, but not always… for example, 2003’s, I don’t think I’ve tasted a good Napa wine from that vintage. This is not to say that there aren’t any good wines, just that I haven’t tasted any.

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1981

Thought there was a chance this one was corked… turned out solid. Deep ruby color. Aromas of leather, blackberry and earthy mushroom. Hanging in there with some solid licorice, baked berry and oaky finish. — 2 months ago

Bergström Wines

Cumberland Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2023

2023 vintage. Slightly sweeter than remembered previous vintages yet still more than worthy. A fave OR winery and this particular wine (at least in SoCal) translates into their most affordable red. Medium/medium-heavy bod. 03.12.25. — 19 days ago
