2017 Evening Land Anden Seven Springs Vineyard Eola- Amity Hills Pinot Noir

13.0% alc., 159 cases, $100. This wine celebrates the history of Seven Springs Vineyard’s original 1984 plantings of own-rooted Pommard and Wädenswil clones. 100% whole cluster, indigenous fermentation in open-top concrete fermenter. Aged 16 months in neutral Ermitage oak barrels. · A fitting sign-off for a wine composed of fruit from 33-year-old vines. Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Welcoming aromas of black cherry, red rose petal, pine sap and beguiling spice. Crisp, clean and sleek, featuring a mid-weight core of luscious dark cherry fruit subtlety spiced and revealing understated power. The wine brings a harmonious composure tendered by gossamer tannins and good verve, with a lengthy, cherry-infused finish that urges another sip. Score: 94. Reviewed May 30, 2022
