Evening Land Vineyards
Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
Eola - Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Tonight I have opened the 2012 Evening Land Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir. It has been five years since the last time I had this wine, so here goes.
On the nose there is strawberry, cherry, raspberry, clove, rhubarb, vanilla, black olive, rose petals, light oak and earth.
On the palate there is strawberry, tart cherry, raspberry, sassafras, clove, vanilla, mushroom, rose petals, rhubarb and earth.
This wine is medium bodied and is as fresh today as it was when I had it five years ago. It has medium to medium + acidity and medium fine tannins that lead seamlessly into a medium to long tart fruit finish. Still a wonderful wine and I don't see this slowing down any. I have a few more in my wine room and I look forward to trying this again a few years from now. I hope everyone is still doing well? Now that they are starting to relax on the stay home policies please stay healthy and stay safe. Nostrovia! Q🍷🍷🍷🍷

Tonight I opened another 2012 Evening Land Pinot Noir from the Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley. Evening Land seems to be doing things right here in the Willamette Valley. On the nose there is cherry, strawberry, sassafras, light mint and an earthy loam. The palate gives up notes of strawberry, red raspberry, sour cherry, rhubarb, and mushroom. This is a full bodied Pinot with Medium Acidity and Medium Tannin with a nice fresh finish.

Five star dinner in Nassau, Bahamas. Fruit for forward. Solid tannins and smooth finish. Perfect light wine for the red lovers who want to enjoy with seafood.

Raspberries, dark cherries, cherry, violets, roses, smooth, next to no minerality, good acidity. Might be the nicest uneventful Oregon Pinot's I've had.

Jul 7th, 2016Bright ripe but sour cherries, cooked strawberries, dark raspberries, pomegranate extract, dark moist earth, round minerality. Big rich fruit finish. Good vintage to hold another 3-6 years more before opening depending on how ageable you enjoy your wine.

Very Oregon, in that whole cluster, earthy kind of way. Very new world, in that leads with bright fruit and a big "Hello!" kind of way.
