Evesham Wood Bruno Pinot noir 2010

Review:

The first Bruno Pinot made by Evesham's new owner, Erin Nuccio (who's Haden Fig wines have become customer favorites), will also be the last Bruno Pinot. Boy did he finish strongly, offering a soft, red fruit melange of cherry, strawberry, and raspberry. Bruno Pinots always put on a little weight in the bottle, so by the time the weather cools off enough to ship, this will be even better.

2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

If you haven't found Evesham Wood wines in the past (we are always trying to get a bigger allocation) here's a chance to try Russ Raney's Pinot noir at his lowest price. If you are one of Evesham Woods' followers you'll be glad to know that the 2009 is up to Russ's usual high standards and this vintage has flavors that are very appealing - perfumed, juicy, and ready to drink. Bruno is made especially for Casa Bruno, one of our favorite distributors.

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

The Bruno Pinot noir 08 is sourced from several vineyards in the Salem, Oregon area, near Evesham Wood’s winery. Evesham Wood - one of those wineries in Oregon that sells out so fast, most people never hear about it. It's the unique combination of superb wines and the most modest prices in Oregon that make them a cult favorite.

Matt Kramer, the Oregonian, Sunday September 20, 2009: " This is as good a deal in really fine Oregon pinot noir from a terrific vintage as I've seen in years. Get it while you can." On July 16, Avalon called it THE best value in Oregon Pinot right now.

2007 Vintage Tasting Notes

Evesham Wood - one of those wineries in Oregon that sells out so fast, few people hear of it. Evesham Wood - It's the unique combination of superb wines and the most modest prices in Oregon that make them a cult favorite.

Winemaker Russ Raney made the 2007 Bruno Pinot noir for his Oregon distributor, only for the Oregon market! It's an outstanding value that blends freshness, bright acidity, and pure fruit.

The nose is all about bright raspberry and red cherry fruit, and the flavors follow up with more sweet red cherry and red raspberry flavors. There's a hint of pie spice, a hint of smoke, and just a lot of pleasant, easy drinking, fresh red fruit flavors. The finish is long and the tannins are silky and unobtrusive.

Russ makes a lighter, more classically Burgundian wine than most. The 2007 Bruno is far superior to its 2006 predecessor, and will age nicely over the next 2-4 years.
