The 2022 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve has nuanced aromas of black cherry, lavender, mossy bark, earth and spice. The full-bodied palate is powerful and perfumed with a velvety texture. Its concentrated flavors are balanced by vibrant acidity, and it has a long, layered finish.

So concentrated, layered and firmly structured, it’s fragrant in new-oak aromatics and built for long aging. A full body and muscular tannins balance lush, posh and ripe red and black fruit flavors that flood the palate and echo in the finish. This is complex, powerful and detailed. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve is a saturated red color and is a touch shy initially as well, offering notes of red cherries, lightly iron-rich earth, leather, pressed flowers, and mushrooms. It fills the palate with medium-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and an even, balanced finish, with even ripeness throughout. It’s a very well-styled Pinot to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve is darkly floral, blending shavings of blood orange, mint and nuances of sage with dried black cherries. Classy and refined, it offers silken textures and a dense wave of ripe red fruits lifted by the slightest hint of sour citrus. Youthful poise wraps the palate, which turns toward the savory spectrum as crunchy mineral tones mingle with edgy tannins. Patience is required to watch the 2022 blossom fully.

Rich and graceful, with fragrant raspberry and cherry flavors accented with cinnamon, orange peel and toasty spices as this finishes with refined tannins. Drink now through 2032. 9,716 cases made.
