Refined, elegant, focused and complex, piling layer upon layer of subtle flavors onto a racy, deftly balanced frame. Blackberry, currant and mineral notes compete for attention and mingle harmoniously on the long, expressive finish. Best from 2012 through 2020. 310 cases made. –HS Evening Land Pinot Noir La Source Seven Springs 2009 (August, 2011): “Rich, supple and graceful with explosive aromas of blackberry and bright cherry, perfumed with minerality, cinnamon stick and lavender oil with distinct loam undertones. An expressive, open textured palate is layered with succulent sweet garnet fruit with accents of peppercorn and spice. The refined and lithe tannins last beautifully with a poised and polished finish. Best from 2012 - 2015 in our estimate. Setting a benchmark with a “Classic 96” point score from the Wine Spectator - - the Top rating for Oregon Pinot Noir last year - - we’re excited to introduce you to the new 2009 vintage of Evening Land “La Source”! Absolutely stunning, we’re predicting this pre-Cult winery will be a game-changer for Oregon Pinot as it flaunts an almost identical Grand Cru Burgundian profile. Best part is you’ll swear you’re drinking $400 Burgundy, but you’ll pay only $65. When it comes to Pinot and Chardonnay, you’ll be hard pressed to find a winemaker anywhere in the world with more 98-100 points scores than Dominique Lafon. His success at his Domaine des Comtes Lafon in Burgundy caused Oregon’s hottest and most cutting edge winery to recruit him to lead their efforts to produce the best Pinots in America, if not the world. Insider secret is Evening Land bought up Oregon’s most prestigious vineyard (think La Tache of Oregon) and have limited it’s fruit solely to their wines, ie one of the US’s only Monopoles. California’s most renowned Master Sommelier Larry Stone runs the show up there, guiding it with his notorious perfectionism. Only 10 cases remain of this 300 case production so RSVP today.
