From the windswept slopes of Eola-Amity Hills in Oregon, the 2022 Evening Land Seven Springs Chardonnay is a vibrant expression of cool-climate elegance. Evening Land Vineyards has long been dedicated to crafting wines that capture the character of their site with precision and grace. Seven Springs Vineyard, dry-farmed and nurtured under biodynamic principles, thrives on volcanic soils cooled by the Pacific breezes that sweep through the Van Duzer Corridor, giving the wine its distinctive clarity and mineral energy.

The 2022 vintage opens with bright aromas of lemon verbena, green apple and golden orchard fruits, enriched by delicate notes of white flower and a saline whisper that speaks of the vineyard’s unique soils. On the palate the wine is lively yet refined, with crisp acidity carrying flavors of citrus zest, pear and subtle hints of vanilla through a long and layered finish. It is a Chardonnay that balances energy and poise, offering both immediate vibrancy and the promise of graceful development over time. This is a wine shaped by place, climate and careful hands, a true reflection of Evening Land’s vision and the cool coastal soul of Willamette Valley.

The 2022 Chardonnay Seven Springs Vineyard takes some time in the glass to shake off initial scents of flint and toast to reveal dried apple, beeswax and spicy undertones. The palate is understated and savory, offering textural breadth that extends its honey-nut flavors on the finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in bottle. 91 Pts, Drink 2024-2034 - Erin Brooks, The Wine Advocate
