Evesham Wood Pinot Noir "Le Puits Sec" 07
Evesham Wood Pinot Noir "Le Puits Sec" 07 - silky and creamy, vibrant and fresh. It opens with scents of rose and raspberry, with a little cherry burst and a darker berry element beneath. There's a touch of forest before the finish, which holds a blackberry cobbler note mingling with ultra-subtle dried herbs. The 07 Le Puit Sec is deliciously drinkable right now - expect it to age nicely too. Highly recommended. - Marcus

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes
Evesham Wood Le Puit Sec Pinot noir 06 is one of the standouts of the vintage. Evesham Pinots are elegant and classy, as close to Burgundy as Oregon gets. Combining that house style with the ripe, forward 2006 vintage, Le Puit Sec 06 exhibits gorgeous aromas of red fruit perfume and spice. A generous core of cherries is accented by currants and dark berries. Tiny herbal notes appear on the integrated finish.
Expect the 2006 Le Puit Sec to drink well upon release and continue developing for five years, or, while you wait for your 2005 Evesham wines to evolve!

MORE INFORMATION
From the winery: "This was our most successful single vineyard wine for the vintage, and, like the previous two vintages, was the most supple and round. It shows all the typical ripe plum and white pepper flavors which seem to be the "signature" of this site, and a luscious texture, giving it an immediate attractiveness and a lingering finish. This is a delicately-structured wine (i.e. not highly extracted), yet with sufficient fruit acid for good balance and longevity. Certifed organically grown grapes."
