"The Seven Springs Pinot Noir offers a look at the Evening Land program at an approachable price point. Redolent red berry fruits, fresh wintergreen and smoky floral aromas make for a pleasing aromatic profile. The palate is fresh and elegant with elements of black bramble berries, chicory root spice and delicious tart blood orange with a smoky undertone. There is an elegance in this bottling, Evening Land's entry Pinot Noir punches well above its price point."

"A charming, elegant and velvety wine that emphasizes wild berries and woodsy, savory accents on a medium frame of snappy tannins and nervy acidity. Lots of tangy red fruit, from cranberries to sour cherries, and accents of bay leaves and pine. Best from 2026."

"Pale ruby verging on purple in colour. The nose is fresh with black cherry, yogurt, violets and wet potting soil. High, linear acidity on the palate and super-fine tannin. Cherry, spice and earth linger on the finish. (SCJ) 13.7%"

"This balanced beauty was fermented and aged in a combination of concrete and neutral oak barriques. The wine,s aromas run the range from boysenberry soda and violets to a meaty note similar to bone broth. A light and nimble texture is a perfect fit with flavors like cranberry and lime zest, with a mild chalky note. ‡M.A. "

"Steely and precise, with vibrant raspberry and pomegranate flavors that reveal accents of stony mineral, dusky spices and black tea as this gathers verve and tension toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2032. ‡T.F."
