2017 Evesham Wood Mahonia Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 13.0% alc., 174 cases, $36. Released Autumn 2019. A 12 acre vineyard planted between 1985 and 1993. Pommard, 113, 114, 115, and 777 planted in Jory and Nekia soils at 450 feet elevation. LIVE Certified, Salmon Safe. Evesham Wood is the sole winery to work with the vineyard’s fruit and since 2019 have farmed the vineyard themselves and organically. Think “monopole.” Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, 15% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Pleasant aromas of red fruits, dried herbs and a hint of oak-driven spice and vanillin. A delicate wine offering light to mid weight flavors of red cherry and raspberry with underlying earthiness and a hint of herbal tea. Good vibrancy, with gentle tannins and a lip-smacking finish with some length. Score: 90. Reviewed March 8, 2020
Winery: Evesham Wood
