Community Tasting Note

JoeGolton Likes this wine:

Friday, April 4, 2014 - This did not feel old so perhaps could have benefited from another 2-4 years of age. Had it with a birthday dinner of simply cooked (but high quality) salmon, salad, and roasted veggies, as well as baguette with a couple very interesting cheeses (Jasper Hill Harbison - very earthy, and Brin Damour - full of herbs).

The wine stood up well on its own with a balanced combination of subtle oak integrated with earthy plum flavor and subtle herbs, but with all sorts of interesting but subtle things going on in a long finish. Food brought out much much more - each sip was different depending on which food it was after, evoking a variety of flavors ranging from earthy, to fruity, to fresh herbs. Especially interesting with the cheeses. Did best after an hour or so of air. I have had many Evesham Wood wines from 2001 to 2007. This was one of the best. Fans of subtle, food friendly Pinots should love this.

Note that I have a passive cellar that has been around 63 to 65 degrees for most of the past decade so anyone keeping their wines at cooler temperatures might want to wait a couple more years before opening.
