Evening Land 2007 Occidental Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $150
A terrific Pinot, and one of the few that absolutely demands cellaring. The tannic structure is enormous, providing a sandpapery dryness to the palate. Yet the flavor explosion is so powerful, you can enjoy it now with utter satisfaction. Erupts in grilled blackberry and cherry, Dr. Pepper cola, bacon, anise, sautéed wild mushroom and smoky sandalwood flavors…  — S.H.  (12/15/2009)

Evening Land 2007 Occidental Coast Two Daughters Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $65
Gorgeous and immaculate. Showcases Russian River/Sonoma Coast Pinot at its finest, with superb acidity, ultra-refined tannins and flavors of grilled blackberries, cherry pie filling, cola, crushed black pepper, cinnamon, anise and smoky, caramelized sandalwood. As rich as it is, there’s an elusive quality, with hints of wild game and undefineable forest floor…  — S.H.  (12/15/2009)

Evening Land 2010 Seven Springs Vineyard Summum Chardonnay (Eola-Amity Hills)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $90
This sets a high standard for Oregon Chardonnay. Bright and snappy, yet deep and concentrated, it’s a symphony of lemon, citrus, stone and tropical fruits, well-differentiated yet perfectly integrated. The extraordinary length and precise focus, along with the overall balance and structure, suggest that this should improve for many years to come.  — P.G.  (12/1/2012)

Evening Land 2010 Seven Springs Vineyard La Source Chardonnay (Eola-Amity Hills)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $60
Gorgeously ripe fruit packs this wine with tropical flavors of cantaloupe, apricot and papaya. Lemony acid keeps it fresh and vibrant, and the overall texture and complexity are a revelation. Both of Evening Land’s Chardonnays elevate the grape to new heights in this part of the Willamette Valley.  — P.G.  (12/1/2012)

In a stellar lineup of 2010 Evening Land Pinots, this is the best. It displays eye-popping character and depth, a ripe powerhouse at just 13.1% alcohol. Black cherry fruit comes laced with cinnamon and baking spice notes. It’s a full, round, rich, and fruity wine that just never quits.  — P.G.  (12/1/2012)

A richly detailed riot of flavors, this outstanding Pinot Noir offers notes of lavender and rosemary on the nose and flavors of strawberry and raspberry on the palate, with hints of beetroot, clean earth and anise. The finish adds a lingering, resonant flavor of pastis.  — P.G.  (12/1/2012)

Dominique Lafon consults on these wines, sourced from a vineyard now almost 30 years old. Evening Land is among the wineries who sense an opportunity to make refined, elegant wines from the terroir of this little-known region. Lovely aromas, complex scents and flavors, pine and herb, cranberry and raspberry, earth and seafoam—lots of nuances here.  — P.G.  (6/1/2010)

Pure and detailed, this lovely Chardonnay carves its way through the palate with layers of pear tart, apple crisp, brioche and almond paste. It is an elegant wine, light and penetrating, with a finish that seems to linger forever.  — P.G.  (6/1/2010)
