Evenstad Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2011

9.2

#AgedWineTuesday

Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity. Pretty color.

Strong nose of red fruits with earth, light wood, light Mediterranean spices, mushrooms, earth and herbs.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light green tea and earth.

Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a delicious 15 year old Pinot Noir from Oregon. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Feels like a red Burgundy, which I loved. Complex and interesting. Tangy and spicy.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent. Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to do so in the next 10 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 91 points.

Easy drinking, and good by itself or with food.

Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (55% new) French oak barrels for 15 months.

Big. Bold. More acid than fruit. Will go the distance. — a month ago

This wine is in a different orbit. I can safely say I have never tasted a wine this smooth, this balanced, this subtle… this uplifting. Fine polished tannins take this juicy, vibrant fruit infused with black olive and lifted with earthy notes from the stones of the Rocks District to a finish that stays with you for minutes and can only make you think of one thing: I want another sip…. but I I want this wine to last for ever ….good problem to have 😁. Like Nicholas Joly said. A good wine makes you feel something deeply inside and you can ‘feel’ the wine. This one sure did. — a month ago
