Last had this two years ago. Slow ox few hours and decanted half hour before drinking. No overwhelming oak. Slight funk on the nose. Fruit still good well integrated acidity. Very nice bottle

Sadly, another flawed bottle of the Evanstad Reserve. Crumbly cork and hints of TCA. It's unfortunate because I know how good this wine and vintage can be... Hoping the next bottle is a return to form.

Balanced Oregon Pinot Noir that is settled into a really nice zone. It's taking on more secondary flavors and still has some vibrant acidity that shows on the palate. Starting to showcase more earthiness and tart red fruit. Drinks well on its own, but also pairs nicely with a variety of dishes (and does particularly well with cheese).

Impressive 15 yr old Pinot from Oregon still has so much life left. Good fruit and structure. The palate as nice tart fruit. Drinking well but still has a lot to give over the years.

Still fairly fresh with bright red fruits. Modest tannin on the finish but does show a bit of age here with some earthiness.
