Wine Spectator 93 Points

Review:

Broad and voluminous, the Evenstad Reserve 08 is a bigger Pinot, sporting black cherry and plum alongside baking spices and toast. It will continue to benefit from time in the cellar. - Marcus

Wine Enthusiast 2008 - 94 points - Dark, full, generous and ripe to the far edge of elegance, this powerful Pinot is saturated with black fruits, annotated with fennel, pepper, smoke and espresso, the rich and varied flavors rolling right through a lush midpalate and on into a gently fading finish. Retasted over 24-48 hours, it continued to evolve and develop additional nuances. A wine to cellar for a decade or more. - P.G.

2008 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Sleek and tangy, tightly focusing its cherry, raspberry and mineral flavors on a taut frame. Finishes with intensity and a hint of black olive. Drink now through 2018. - H.S.

From the winery: "Beautiful aromas of dark cherry, red raspberry, pipe tobacco, milk chocolate, pomegranate and earth. The palate is rich and supple, showing black raspberry, cherry pie, black currant, rose, violet and oak spice with a persistent and seamless finish."

2006 Vintage

2006 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Lithe in texture with cinnamon and mocha flavors that ride smoothly over a graceful frame, lingering nicely on the clear, expressive finish. Drink now through 2015. - H.S.

2005 Vintage

Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve 05 is a Wine Spectator Top 100 Wine of the Year for 2008.

2005 Wine Spectator - 93 points - Lithe in texture, with a distinctive range of red cherry, black cherry, cinnamon and mocha flavors that ride smoothly over a graceful frame, lingering nicely on the clear, expressive finish. Drink now through 2015. 6,500 cases made. - H.S.
