Evening Land’s Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir comes from one of the defining vineyard sites of Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills, where exposure to cool Pacific winds helps preserve freshness and aromatic detail. Established in the 1980s, Seven Springs has earned a reputation for Pinot Noir of clarity, structure and distinctive mineral character. The 2023 vintage brings ripe red fruit and appealing concentration, balanced by the energy and savory complexity associated with this celebrated vineyard.
Blend: 100% Pinot Noir.
Tasting Notes: Red cherry, wild raspberry and cranberry are complemented by rose petals, black tea and a subtle note of crushed stone. The palate is finely layered, with bright red fruit, delicate spice and an earthy undertone. Fresh acidity and fine, persistent tannins carry the wine toward a long, savory finish.
Structure: Medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity, finely textured tannins and a focused fruit profile. The vineyard’s cool, wind-influenced conditions contribute freshness and definition, giving the wine the structure to develop without sacrificing elegance.
Drink Window: 2026–2035. The 2023 is approachable with aeration, though several additional years of bottle age should bring greater integration and savory complexity.
Decanting: If opening young, allow approximately 30–45 minutes in a decanter to reveal its aromatic detail and soften its youthful structure. Serve slightly cool, around 58–62°F, in a generous Burgundy glass.
Evening Land Seven Springs Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023 is a compelling choice for collectors and Oregon Pinot Noir enthusiasts who value vineyard character and restrained, age-worthy structure. Its combination of vibrant fruit, savory detail and mineral precision makes it particularly rewarding alongside roast duck, wild mushrooms, herb-roasted poultry and delicate preparations of pork.
