Tasting notes
The 2022 Pinot Noir La Source comes from the top of the ridge and displays a transparent red hue. It offers a spicier profile in the glass with hints of darker berries coming into the mix, yet it remains red-fruited, with cinnamon, rocky earth, purple floral notes, and a light sanguine touch. A subtle iron richness shines on the palate, providing a grounded feel with ripe tannins, a medium-bodied structure, and mouthwatering salinity. Drink 2025-2040. The team at Evening Land is currently overseen by winemakers Sashi Moorman and John Faulkner.

The 2022 Pinot Noir La Source, fermented with 33% whole clusters, has layered scents of pomegranate, blackberry, mixed tea leaves, aniseed and lavender. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, fragrant flavors. It’s structured by chalky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, nuanced finish.
Pale ruby verging on purple in colour. Bright red and black cherry on the nose, hibiscus and cardamom spice. The palate is gentler than the Seven Springs entry bottling. Acid is still high but more rounded. Super-fine tannin with well-integrated oak spice and notes of vanilla. (SCJ)
