A supple texture shapes abundant black and red fruit in this well-concentrated, polished and composed wine. A full body and suede-textured tannins give it a nice heft on the palate. Drink or hold.

The aromas coming from this glass of wine are as clean and fresh as wintertime alpine air, with lilacs and wet stones encircling a bushel of ripe blackberries and a handful of lemons. The wine’s black-cherry, cola and citrus flavors are backed by soft acidity and somewhat chewy tannins.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve, opens with broody tar and forest floor aromas before revealing brighter tones of raspberry jam, cinnamon and blood orange. The light-bodied palate features concentrated, savory red fruit framed by silky tannins and bright acidity, and it has a very long, spicy finish.
