"Evening Landsâ Pinot Noirs begin with the 2008 Pinot Noir Oregon cuvee. It is a multi-regional blend aged for 12 months in 20% new oak. Medium ruby red, it offers up expressive spice notes, earthy underbrush, cedar, and assorted black fruits. This leads to a medium-bodied wine with ample savory fruit, good acidity, and a bit of structure .... Evening Land Vineyards is a group headed by movie magnate Mark Tarlov that also owns Pinot vineyards in the Sonoma Coast and Sta. Rita Hills and is making wines in Burgundy. They gained control of one of the Willamette Valleyâs prized properties, Seven Springs Vineyard, and created an immediate sensation by signing on Dominique Lafon of Comte Lafon in Burgundy as consulting winemaker. The Evening Land group is also making a major effort to restore the health and vitality of Seven Springs. The most recent development is the addition of renowned Master Sommelier Larry Stone as President and GM of the group in August 2010. Over the past 2-3 years there has been an awakening among some of the Willamette Valleyâs most distinguished vignerons that their region is capable of producing world class Chardonnay. With Dominique Lafon and Larry Stone on board, there is no question that Evening Lands will be playing a starring role in this drama. There are now two serious Gamay producers in the Willamette Valley, Doug Tunnell of Brick House being the other."
