Mark Tarlov purchased the famed Occidental Vineyard from Dutton, who sold the fruit to Kistler. Small (3.5 acres) and above the fog-line, this vineyard soil is extremely poor, making vines struggle to gain a water supply. The concentration per grape, subsequently, is amazingly deep, leading to wonderfully complex wines.

Overseen by Sashi Moorman, the Evening Land Sonoma Pinots are strikingly true to the terroir of the region.

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.

Mid-Northern Sonoma's proximity to the coast, as well as the dense fogs that creep down hillsides, is the key to the region's favorable viticultural tendencies. Long a source for excellent Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the area in and surrounding the Russian River Valley benefit with long, ideal growing seasons, allowing the perfect balance in ripening the fruit.
