The 2022 Evening Land Summum Pinot Noir is the flagship Pinot Noir from Seven Springs Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon, sourced from the estate's oldest, lowest-yielding vines. Fermented with 30–40% whole clusters and matured in 60% new French oak, it reflects the vineyard's volcanic soils and meticulous winemaking. The nose is beautifully perfumed with wild strawberry, black cherry and raspberry, layered with rose petals, lavender, forest floor and savoury spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity and remarkable precision. Flavours of red berries, blood orange and plum are complemented by notes of dried herbs, mushroom, wet stone and subtle oak, leading to a long, elegant and mineral-driven finish. The balance of concentration, freshness and structure makes this a world-class Pinot Noir with excellent ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for collectors and lovers of premium Pinot Noir with Burgundian elegance and Oregon character. Pair it with roast duck, venison, mushroom risotto or herb-crusted lamb. Enjoy now after a gentle decant, or cellar for 15–20 years to reveal even greater complexity and finesse.
