93+ Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 93 Pts, Wine Spectator – 93 Pts, Wine Enthusiast, 93 Pts, James Suckling – 93 Pts, Decanter
What makes this offering truly special is its source – primarily the oldest self-rooted block at Seven Springs, with vines now reaching 40 years of age. These ancient soldiers, practicing biodynamically farmed and LIVE certified, deliver a depth and complexity that younger vines simply cannot match.
In the glass, this Pinot reveals a mesmerizing complexity that has captivated critics across the board, with every major publication awarding it 93 points or higher. It leads with alluring aromas of pomegranate, forest floor, boysenberry, and smoky florals. On the palate, it balances juicy, concentrated red and black fruits with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and savory undertones of chicory root spice and black tea. The finish is long, mineral-driven and citrusy with a hint of baking spice that lingers on your tongue.

93+ Points, Wine Advocate
“The 2022 Pinot Noir Seven Springs Vineyard has alluring aromas of pomegranate, blueberry, forest floor and bitters. The medium-bodied palate pairs concentrated, spicy flavors with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, citrusy finish. It opens dramatically with air and will benefit from a few years in the cellar.”
93 Points, Decanter
“The Seven Springs Pinot Noir offers a look at the Evening Land program at an approachable price point. Redolent red berry fruits, fresh wintergreen and smoky floral aromas make for a pleasing aromatic profile. The palate is fresh and elegant with elements of black bramble berries, chicory root spice and delicious tart blood orange with a smoky undertone. There is an elegance in this bottling, Evening Land’s entry Pinot Noir punches well above its price point.”
93 Points, Wine Spectator
“Steely and precise, with vibrant raspberry and pomegranate flavors that reveal accents of stony mineral, dusky spices and black tea as this gathers verve and tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032.”
93 Points, Wine Enthusiast
“This balanced beauty was fermented and aged in a combination of concrete and neutral oak barriques. The wine’s aromas run the range from boysenberry soda and violets to a meaty note similar to bone broth. A light and nimble texture is a perfect fit with flavors like cranberry and lime zest, with a mild chalky note.”
93 Points, James Suckling
“A charming, elegant and velvety wine that emphasizes wild berries and woodsy, savory accents on a medium frame of snappy tannins and nervy acidity. Lots of tangy red fruit, from cranberries to sour cherries, and accents of bay leaves and pine. Best from 2026.”
Evening Land Vineyards is widely considered one of Oregon’s best and is located in the coveted Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Founded in 2005, the winery has quickly established itself as one of the premier producers of both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the entire U.S. The estate is centered around the iconic Seven Springs Vineyard, which was first planted in 1984 and is recognized as one of the oldest and most respected sites in the valley.
The winery gained significant attention when Burgundian legend Dominique Lafon joined as a consultant in 2007, bringing his expertise from Domaine des Comtes Lafon to Oregon. Under his guidance, Evening Land’s wines began to showcase a distinctive combination of Oregon terroir and Burgundian winemaking techniques. This partnership helped elevate the winery’s reputation on the global stage.
In 2014, renowned sommelier Rajat Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman took over the management of Evening Land, further enhancing the winery’s prestige. Parr, a James Beard Award-winning author and respected wine expert, and Moorman, known for his work with Stolpman Vineyards and Domaine de la Côte, brought a fresh perspective to the estate while maintaining its commitment to expressing the unique terroir of Seven Springs Vineyard. Since they teamed up, Wine & Spirits named Evening Land one of their Top 100 Wineries of the Year multiple times.
