2010 vintage. Fresh red cherry with subtle turned soil aromas. The aroma and taste of the wine carries this, but the finish is a bit short. Very good in terms of Bourgogne AOP. — 11 years ago

Bright cherries, touch of vanilla and earthiness makes this very enjoyable. — 11 years ago

Great example of used oak. Balanced acidity and green apple notes. Could be confused with village Chablis. — 11 years ago

The first taste when it touches your tongue is hard to explain, but it's very refreshing. Feels like summer and freshly cut grass. — 11 years ago

Reduction is a bit obvious in this wine, but as with most Evening Land wines, this works itself out and integrates well with the wine over time. Flint and burnt matchsticks on the nose, alongside with portobello mushrooms, baked blackberries, and brambles. Blackberries, Italian plums, and creme de cassis in greet the tongue, cherries, blueberries and fresh orange peel on the mid-palate, with anise seed, white trumpet mushrooms, and subtle tones of basalt. Gorgeous Gamay made in the carbonic-style. — 11 years ago

Baby got back! A more refined example of the 2009 vintage, Evening Land Vineyards Summum is generous on the nose with bacon and field mushrooms, with spicy notes of mace and cloves. Ripe black cherries and fresh red plums gentle enter on the tongue, giving way to mild cocoa and caramel notes, and revisiting bright red fruits on the backend. Lovely, gentle finish and fine tannins. — 11 years ago

"From the slurp factory of Barossa," single vineyard from Ebenezer. Lifted nose: milk chocolate, wintergreen, vanilla extract, brambly dark berries. Bright on the palate with rich forest berries, finishes strong with black raspberry tart. In a great place right now! — 11 years ago

I have been a longtime fan of Isabelle Meunier's wines. 2011, in General was a more difficult vintage, yet Meunier's Blue Label Pinot retains the elegance I have come to associate with her wines. Effortlessly focused with notes of raspberry, crushed stone and lavender. The core is red fruit, minerality and fine tannins. A wonderful effort in an otherwise challenging vintage. — 12 years ago
