The 2023 Pinot Noir Seven Springs Vineyard is scented of dried red cherries and cranberries plus wafts of orange, earth and dried flowers. The medium-bodied palate has a silky texture and is bursting with berry and citrus flavors. It’s balanced by mouthwatering acidity and has a long, bright finish.

Winemaker Notes

Potpourri, mountain black cherry, winter spices, rosewood: These are just a few of the aromas that saunter out of the glass and into the senses with this vintage of estate Pinot Noir. True to the cuvée and especially the 2023 vintage, there is both serious minerality and also buoyancy, a smile, in fruit and spice that carries to all of the wine's elements, namely its sturdy but polished tannins, clean finish and simply stellar approachability. The vigor of Evening Land's basalt soils and the eastern exposure of these vines express themselves clearly here — growing pure, well-composed Pinot Noir.

Winery Notes

Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman stand at the vanguard of the new world wine. Together they steward the historic Seven Springs Vineyard into its fourth decade. At Evening Land Vineyards, they strive to grow and vinify fine Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Gamay from their historic Seven Springs Estate Vineyard in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. Totalling 85 acres under vine; their east-facing vineyard, farmed biodynamically since 2007, was first planted in 1984, and sits atop rocky, volcanic soils.
