*** most extreme, Defcon Level 1 sellout alert today, FYI ***

Did you feel it? There is a disturbance in the Force, and it is coming from a warehouse in Napa where a mad vortex of reality-crushing wine pricing is shaking the planet. EVENING LAND LA SOURCE pinot??!! 96 POINTS (plus plenty more big scores) -- priced like this today is some kind of dark magic...just….WOW!! We GOTTA bust out bullet points for the dozens of reasons to grab this astounding deal:

  • A lot of serious wine cognoscenti might argue this vineyard is the “Romanee Conti” or “La Tache” of America. A legendary plot for some of the greatest pinot noir anywhere. 

  • The price.

  • The price.

  • 96 POINTS. Made by super-sommelier Raj Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman. 

  • La Source is the finest plot (at 700 feet) within the legendary Seven Springs Vineyard in the Van Duzer Gap. This is Evening Land’s TOP cuvee, the best of the best. 

  • We are nearly speechless to have this to offer you. You DID see our price, right?

HURRY. That is all. The wine -- well, it is GLORIOUS. Crazily complex, and now with some time in bottle has come together in a layered, intricate, minerally, deep and fine pinot noir that will Matrix-like rearrange your reality. Epiphany? We had one. A few clips from the review: “the resulting wine feels effortless and complete. The spice is tea-like and, at first, demonstrative; then the fruit pulls into view and the wine is suddenly airborne, twirling like a dancer, the exuberance of the fruit reined in by the stems, the stems assertions mellowed by fruit the dance itself a deft measure of the wine’s complexity. Packed with flavor, the wine feels weightless all the same, capable of evolving for a decade.”

Pinot noir collectors, drinkers aficionados, serious-pinot-curious -- TODAY, this second, is the time. While it lasts…!

About The Producer

We are, first and foremost, faithful stewards of the historic Seven Springs vineyard, planted by Oregon wine pioneer Al MacDonald in 1984. On this dramatic east-facing slope, in the iron-rich and rocky, volcanic soils of the Eola-Amity Hills, Al MacDonald undertook what would become one of Oregon's most recognized vineyards. Nestled against a forest of Douglas fir with views eastward to Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson, it is immediately evident to any visitor why Al chose this site.

Seven Springs' eastern exposure ensures the vineyard awakens to the warmth of the morning sun. The vineyard's position opposite the windy Van Duzer Corridor, mitigates hot, sunny afternoons in the Willamette Valley with cool winds from the Pacific. As valley temperatures increase throughout the day, warm air rises, replaced by cooling winds flooding in from the Pacific through the Van Duzer gap and across our vineyard. This daily cooling, along with our eastern aspect, affords our grapes the luxury of extended time on the vine.

 Since its inception, Seven Springs has been dry-farmed. The vineyard is LIVE™ certified and was converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2007. We continue to farm Seven Springs biodynamically, encouraging a healthy and sustainable ecosystem in the vineyard.

 Seven Springs is planted overwhelmingly to Pinot Noir, followed by Chardonnay, and Gamay. The oldest own-rooted blocks of Pinot Noir and Gamay are a testament to, and daily reminder of, Oregon's incredible history and potential. Benchmark Oregon producers have long sourced fruit from Seven Springs and the wines from this vineyard are the most decorated and award-winning wines in Oregon's history.
