Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Anden Seven Springs Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-garnet in color with a lovely spicy nose of cracked black pepper, sliced meats, crushed rock and wild blackberries. Medium-bodied, it's very savory in the mouth with soft, grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long with tons of earthy accents. 160 cases produced.

Made entirely from own-rooted and phylloxera-affected vines planted in 1984 on the lower portion of the historic Seven Springs Vineyard. Aged for 16 months in 100% new Ermitage barrels. Opening with a lightly smoky, match-strike reductive nose that continues into the palate, this wine transforms with air into meaty, savoury notes with hints of graphite that are delicious. At its core are dark berries with fresh-cut bramble and loads of sapidity. The tannins are fine and resolved alongside glittering acidity and plenty of length. This wine continues to evolve and drink well, long into day five after opening, which speaks very well to its ageing potential. While still well balanced with fruit, this is the most savoury of the Evening Land Vineyard Pinots in a way that is very pleasing. Carries the oak seamlessly. I am impressed with this wine. (ECB)
