A true illustration of the art of blending the 2013 Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir is a wonderfully complex elegant wine with intriguing notes of black cherry currants cloves and nutmeg. With some air notes of allspice cardamom and black tea emerge from the glass with a subtle lift of cocoa powder and vanilla. In the mouth the wine shows elegance and finesse with brooding depth and concentration vibrant red fruits silky tannins and great persistence. An earthy and spicy red with leaves and mushrooms. Medium to full body firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Lively acidity. Peppery herbal notes populate the nose leading into flavors of brambly red fruits. The wine gathers strength on the midpalate finishing with a flourish of strawberry preserves. There’s a touch of rhubarb pie and a dusting of cocoa in the mix as well and for an Oregon Pinot Noir made in such quantities more than 10000 cases it offers exceptional depth and density. Limpid ruby-red. Oak-spiced red berries cherry and licorice on the fragrant nose along with hints of vanilla and musky herbs in the background. Sweet and lively in the mouth offering juicy raspberry and cherry cola flavors that unfold and slowly put on weight with air. The vanilla and cola notes recur on a long gently tannic finish that’s given snap by a late jolt of tangy acidity.91 points Wine Advocate
