Evening Land 7 Springs Pinot Noir

The Evening Land 2022 Pinot Noir (Seven Springs Vineyard) reflects Willamette Valley’s cool-climate terroir in Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills AVA, where long ripening seasons and volcanic Jory soils help Pinot Noir develop vibrant fruit and expressive aromatics. The 2022 vintage here benefited from balanced growing conditions that preserved acidity while achieving concentrated flavor. Evening Land’s approach emphasizes gentle, site-focused vinification: fruit is often fermented with a mix of gentle extraction, raised in neutral French oak barrels (around 6 months) and finished in concrete to build texture and precision while letting terroir traits shine. The result is a medium-bodied Pinot Noir with purity of fruit, fine tannins, and structure suited for both early enjoyment and short- to medium-term aging.

Tasting Notes:
On the nose, expect bright, high-toned red fruit: wild raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate -intertwined with floral hints and gentle earthy nuances. Secondary notes include forest floor, spice, and subtle herbal accents, giving depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine silky tannins, and concentrated yet elegant fruit flavors. Layers of raspberry and red cherry are complemented by mineral and spice undertones, finishing with a refreshing, lingering lift that highlights both fruit purity and structural balance. Drinking windows often start around 2026 and can extend comfortably into the late 2030s.
