2015 Evesham Wood Pinot Noir Cuvee J | Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley, Oregon 750ml

There is a lot going on at first smell. Spice, dried herbs, dried fruit, dried flowers which moves to a still very tightly wound mid-palate with glimpses of those dried flowers and herbs, plum, dark cherry and firm tannins that will gracefully soften with years or decades of age. 145 cases produced. | Evesham Wood

Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Lifted aromas of cherry, raspberry, spice, dried herbs and forest. High-collared with impeccable balance, featuring plenty of spiced cherry goodness with a subtle thread of savory herbs, earth and citrus. Full of grace and gallantry, with substantial but compatible tannins, and a most agreeable, long finish. Simply beguiling. Still terrific when tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle indicating desirable age-worthiness. | 94 points, The PinotFile Vol 11 Issue 19 princeofpinot.com
