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. More depth here than the 2007, this 2010 should drink beautifully over the next decade. - Neal Martin

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.
