Detailed Info, Previous Vintage Notes, Reviews:

Oregonian's Matt Kramer says: "Oregon pinot noir insiders have long known that Evesham Wood offers some of the state's best pinot noirs at prices well below what other producers of similar (or even lesser) quality ask. This brand-new release is yet another example of why Evesham Wood is surely one of Oregon's greatest pinot noir producers."

"The 2004 vintage was a tricky year, plagued by spring rains that hindered pollination (no pollinated grape flower, no berry). Yields were reduced, sometimes severely so. Summer was swell, but September, unusually, saw rain. This was not good, as grapes can bulge from excessive water, skins can burst and molds can fester. But then came the sun, along with drying winds, and all was set right. Voila! A terrific vintage. (In winegrowing, as in life, you never know how the day will end.)"

"Owner-winemaker Russ Raney took full advantage in this stellar "Willamette Valley" bottling. Blessed with midpalate density (a sign of low yields), this wine delivers all the classic berryish goodness of pinot noir without any of the swoopy oakiness or flashy fruit preferred by some producers. Evesham Wood pinot noirs are meant to age beautifully -- and they do."

"The price is a bargain in top-drawer Oregon pinot noir. Get it while you can, as Evesham Wood pinots have a passionate following." - Matt Kramer
