The Winery

Evening Land Vineyards

We are, first and foremost, faithful stewards of the historic Seven Springs vineyard, planted by Oregon wine pioneer Al MacDonald in 1984. On this dramatic east-facing slope, in the iron-rich and rocky, volcanic soils of the Eola-Amity Hills, Al MacDonald undertook what would become one of Oregon’s most recognized vineyards. Nestled against a forest of Douglas fir with views eastward to Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson, it is immediately evident to any visitor why Al chose this site.

Founded in 2005 among the boom in popularity that is the Willamette Valley, Oregon, Evening Land Vineyards is widely considered one of the best Pinot Noir estates in Oregon, and perhaps the United States. It is dedicated to producing world renowned Pinot Noir and Chardonnay predominantly using their Seven Springs Vineyard in Oregon, however wines are produced from California and Burgundy grapes. All grapes in the Seven Springs Vineyard are dry-farmed and is certified biodynamic so the resulting wines are a true testament to its terroir in the hills of Eola-Amity. Evening Land is a true benchmark winery.

Tasting Notes

WS96
Light, racy and aromatic, with depth, offering mineral notes of crushed wet stone before delivering beautifully restrained apple, pineapple and citrus flavors that play against a lean, sinewy frame. The finish doesn't quit. Drink now through 2020. 217 cases made.
WE96
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.
