Brick House, Evelyn's Pinot Noir other_regions_italy Although it has ample ripeThe 2017 Pinot Noir Evelyn's comes from about half Pommard and half Dijon clone fruit and was aged in about 40% new oak. Pale ruby purple, it opens with some tarry scorched earth aromas, unwinding slowly to red and black cherries and sweet red berry fruits with nuances of violets and amaro. The light to medium bodied palate is firm, grainy and fresh with a long, flavorful finish. Give this another couple of years in bottle. 250 cases produced.
