Critical Acclaim
95 points Wine Spectator
A vibrant, focused and deliciously complex red, offering raspberry, cherry, cinnamon, mocha and subtle sage notes rolling through the long and expressive finish. Deft. *Highly Recommended, Ranked #3 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2013* (HS)
93 points Wine Advocate
The 2010 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve has a very pure, almost unassuming, nonchalant bouquet with pretty red berry fruit complemented by bay leaf and sous-bois aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, fine salinity and a gentle build to quite a convincing tea-leaf finish that is very classic in style. (NM)
92 points Wine Enthusiast
Dense, dark and spicy, this opens with a thicket of briar and bramble–one almost wants to say thistle–wrapped around taut, compact black fruits. There is a hint of gun metal running through the palate, and as the wine warms and slowly opens, it reveals a lingering finish with a little pat of butter left on the tongue. This should be in fine shape for at least another decade. *Cellar Selection* (PG)
