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

WA95
The 2009 Chardonnay Summum Seven Springs Vineyard received the same elevage as its siblings but was chosen from a tenderloin parcel of the vineyard. It offers up a complex perfume of minerals, smoke, floral notes, white peach, and spiced apple. This sets the stage for a remarkably rich, concentrated, and lengthy Chardonnay, one of the finest I have tasted from Oregon. By the way, all three Chardonnays weigh in at under 13% alcohol and with pHs less than 3.4.
WS95
Elegant, refined and racy, offering a taut mouthful of mineral, slate and chalk notes around a zingy core of lemon and quince flavors that don't quit as the finish soars. Seems almost reticent, but the flavors keep hovering with amazing delicacy. Drink now through 2020.
