Evenstad Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2001

Shay A
9.3

Color me shocked. Up there with one of the more surprising bottles of the year (alongside an old Carlisle Cardiac Syrah). Had very little hope, but was completely and pleasantly surprised.

Cork split in two coming out. Trusty Durand saved the day. First small pour was not encouraging…lots of funk. After leaving alone for 30mins, the faded ruby with tinge of black in the glass had aromatics of sous bois, black tea, and dirty red and black berries. On the palate, this was elegant showing more herbal/earthy notes, dark berry fruit in the background, sweet pipe tobacco and a still-tart finish with both acidity and tannin. I have to admit that if someone said this was older burgundy, I could see it in the realm of possibilities. No sappy, rich, cola type notes here. Open and enjoy!

Jerusalem Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Another really great Serene Pinot. A bit more smokey and meaty. Lower elevation = more strength, versus Dundee Hills. Very good. — 4 months ago

Domaine Serene

Grand Cheval Red Blend 2017

Unusual blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah has the finesse of Pinot and the juiciness of Syrah it has high acidity and a plush texture with plenty of blackberry and black cherry alongside the Pinot’s spiraling red fruit including wild strawberry, raspberry and violet. It’s just beginning to show some tertiary character with forest floor and a hint of mushroom. Long finish. — 2 months ago
