Evening Land Vineyards
Evening Land Estate Pinot Noir 2010
Not bad but a little one dimensional, we'll see how air affects the overly obvious stem inclusion. I normally love stem inclusion, maybe just not feeling it today. The rest is great with cranberry, sandalwood, mineral, mellow spice and mulled cherry notes. Fresh and balanced only 13 abv. #eveningland #pinotnoir #wine #santabarbara #sideways — 11 years ago

Jay McInerney said about his first time tasting Chardonnay from Santa Rita Hills "It was a little like meeting Jessica Simpson only to have her start speaking perfect French in Carla Bruni's voice."
Anjou pear, Meyer lemon zest, almond paste, and vanilla poached peach.

This is drinking really nicely now- highly recommend- sometimes you have to wait for these older vintages to shine- this one is light &fruity, A nose that will challenge not only your memory but your palate. Notes of strawberry, cherries, a hint of vanilla. It's mouth feel is perhaps the most even ever felt on this tongue. Perhaps amongst one of their best vintages of from the" legend-(wait for it) dairy" terriors in the Santa Rita lowlands that Grey and Frank have offered. Although this label continues to amaze year after year with their simplicity, consistency and value.
One would expect to lay much more for this bottle, which makes it a very good choice. #HitchingPostWines #Sideways #PunotNoir #SantaRitaHills — 2 years ago
