Wine Spectator 94 points A graceful, compelling red, offering an array of raspberry, strawberry, rose petal and toasty spice flavors that fan out on the lingering, supple finish.
Wine Advocate 97 points Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve has pure, layered aromas of cranberry, pomegranate and raspberry with accents of tobacco leaves, graphite, mushroom and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is harmoniously structured and seamless with delicate, perfumed fruit and a very long, spicy finish. This strikes a fine balance between a fruity, savory and earthy character.
Jeb Dunnuck 94 points The 2019 Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve is forward and lifted with baking spice, clove, and cranberry. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins, wonderful concentration, and notes of dried roses, pure cherry, and lingering oak spice.
James Suckling 94 points A firm and linear wine with some herbal and bark character. Blue fruit and dried strawberry. Floral. Full and tight with firmness and intensity. Give it three to four years to come around.
