Long a source for Oregon's leading winemakers, the Seven Springs Vineyard is now a "monopole" vineyard estate, meaning the entire vineyard is farmed and controlled by a single winery. Occupying the belly of an east facing ridge in the Eola Hills of Oregon's Willamette Valley, the terroir of the Seven Springs Vineyard is rich red volcanic rock.


The Oregon project is overseen by Meursault superstar Dominque Lafon, who imbues this Chardonnay with a delicacy reminiscent of his own whites. Lovely acidity, with mineral and citrus notes.

Spearheaded by former movie producer/speechwriter Mark Tarlov, Evening Land is a unique and ambitious project that highlights some of America's finest vineyard sights, starting with Oregon's Seven Springs Vineyard and Sonoma's Occidental. Seeking to put the terroir of these famous plots on display in a Burgundian style, Tarlov enlisted the help of several of the world's brightest stars. With Meursault vigneron Dominque Lafon (of Domaine Comte Lafon) and Sashi Moorman (of Ojai, III Somms) overseeing Oregon and Sonoma respectively, Evening Land is seeing quick results; the wines are being mentioned as heirs to the title of North America's finest Pinots and Chardonnays.

Oregon is quickly gaining a solid reputation for producing some of the finest cold-weather varietals to be found in the world. While not uniform in climate by any stretch, the topography tends to create moderate, long growing seasons that favor Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and some clones of Chardonnay.
