2016 Evening Land Pinot Noir Seven Springs La Source Eola-Amity Hills

"Tight and still pulling itself together, this mixes tart pie cherries with stiff tannins, earth, pepper and bark. The phenolic earthy flavors are offset by the fruit and acid, and the overall mix of components will ultimately fashion a complex wine with a finishing lick of sweet spice from aging in 50% new French oak. Hold for another couple of years and drink from 2020 through 2030." - Paul Gregutt Review Date: March 2019

"Refined and seamlessly complex, with expressive black cherry, spiced tea and river stone accents that take on richness and vitality toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2025. 641 cases made." - TF Review Date: December 2018
