Difficile de suivre ses grands frères Evenstad mais bien réussit. Nez typique de cerise, d'épices...cannelle, et de notes minérales...terreux. Un vin gouleyant et souple aux saveurs de griottes. Finale moyenne. Boire maintenant.

Drinking beautifully. A lovely, complex nose, excellent weight and length. Bright red fruit, sous-bois and saline minerality. I like this so much more than the Evenstad Reserve bottling.

bright, savory red fruit with hint of butterscotch when first poured. Seemed to gain weight in the glass as the evening went on, which I have never experienced in an Oregon Pinot before. By the end it was showing some spicier, funkier, almost northern Rhône like qualities. It is n great condition and should last another few years at peak.

This wine is aging nicely. Though it is definitely the most "un-Serene" of the wines they produced in '08, its simplicity is what makes it so good. Light-to-medium bodied, bright acidity and lots of fresh red fruit on the palate. Easy to pair with lighter foods or simply enjoy on its own.
I served this wine at a local winery to some friends including the wine maker. The opinion was a unanimous "Thumbs Up." Cherry and raspberry on the nose. Flavors on the palate include red plum, cherry, a hint of vanilla, with just the right amount of tannins.
