The aroma is of crisp red fruit, damp soil, violets and mushrooms. It has a lively mouthfeel, and the tannins are well-balanced and powerful, with a long finish. This is the hilltop plot of Seven Springs that is heavily affected by the wind and has a lot of gravel. Of all the wines produced by Evening Land, La Source is the one that most clearly expresses the Seven Springs character. Dijon clones are used for La Source. The cool winds blowing in from the Pacific Ocean control the growth and ripening of the grapes, and the grapes take root deep into the soil.
This harsh environment for the grapes is also a sign of quality. Evening Land is a symbol of the perfect garden that continues to be sought. From the time of Greek mythology to the present day, Evening Land is synonymous with adventure and romance, which inevitably leads to the West Coast of America. Seven Springs Vineyard, located in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon's Willamette Valley, grows Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Gamay Noir on 80 acres (32 ha). Evening Land owns this vineyard, which is known as one of the best vineyards in Oregon and has been selected as one of the top 10 vineyards in the United States by Food & Wine magazine. It is also a special vineyard that is described by Wine Advocate magazine as "one of Oregon's best vineyards, producing grapes of consistent quality every year." Seven Springs, located on an east-facing slope, was planted in 1983 and the soil is typical of Oregon's volcanic red soil. The ratio of young and old vines is well balanced, and a wide variety of grapes are harvested from plots with various microclimates. They produce a complete estate wine from their own vineyards in Seven Springs, which are cultivated biodynamically. When Evening Land was first established, it was known as the first overseas winemaking project by Dominique Lafon of ComtesLafon, a great Burgundy Mursault producer and one of the top five white wine producers in the world. Currently, Raja Parr, who is also known as an entrepreneur who leads the popular winery Domaine de la Cote in Santa Rita Hills, California, and talented winemaker Sashi Moorman are in charge of the management and brewing of Evening Land. Due to their influence, the wine has become very close to a European style, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most notable winery in Oregon right now.
