The Producer
Evening Land Vineyards works with one vineyard site, Seven Springs Estate. All Evening Land wines come from this historic vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills. Seven Springs is planted overwhelmingly to Pinot Noir, followed by Chardonnay and Gamay.
The range keeps its vineyard constant while changing grape and vintage across red and white bottles. The producer's defining practice is concentration on one place, with Seven Springs supplying the vineyard behind the wines.
Place
Seven Springs Estate lies on the eastern slopes of the Eola-Amity Hills in Oregon. The wines carry the Willamette Valley appellation, while the vineyard's eastern aspect places it within the hills named on the producer's site description.
Daily cooling and the eastern aspect extend the grapes' time on the vine. That longer season gives the vineyard more time before harvest, while the bottles remain labelled with the wider Willamette Valley address.
Wines
The red wines are Seven Springs Pinot Noir 2022 and Seven Springs Gamay Noir 2021, both Willamette Valley wines. Chardonnay has several named bottles: Seven Springs Chardonnay 2022, Seven Springs Chardonnay 2019, Summum Chardonnay 2021, and La Source Chardonnay 2021.
The range places Pinot Noir and Gamay Noir beside several Chardonnay names. Each bottle carries a grape, a vintage, and the Willamette Valley appellation, while the Seven Springs names keep the central vineyard visible on the label.
Final Word
The range keeps its vineyard constant while changing grape and vintage across red and white bottles. Seven Springs Estate is the fixed place behind Evening Land Vineyards.
