Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby. Ripe, spice-tinged red and dark berries, smoky minerals and candied flowers on the highly fragrant nose. Expansive bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors turn sweeter through the midpalate. Well-concentrated yet lively, showing fine delineation and spicy lift on the persistent finish, which is framed by smooth, well-knit tannins.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Seven Springs Estate has aromas of crunchy cranberries, raspberries and blackberries with accents of fragrant earth, violets, peppercorn, saline and bitters. Medium-bodied and silky, it offers loads of ripe fruits tempered by earthy accents, with grainy tannins and sip-me-again acidity, finishing long. Grapes for this cuvée (Evening Land's largest at over 3,000 cases produced annually) were mostly destemmed and come from both older and younger vines.
