"… Their whites represent some of the finest that I tasted in Oregon, replete with nervosité and mineralité that would not be out of place in the motherland of Burgundy. Of course, winemaking is part of the equation here, but another reason is the propensity of the Seven Springs Vineyard and vine age. I asked Raj [Parr] and Sashi [Moorman] whether they feel that Chardonnay has a bright future in Oregon and I would agree when they answered that more and more people will be focusing on the whites."
Neal Martin, Wine Advocate
"Seven Springs’s 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 and is 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™ [Low Impact Viticulture & Enology]-certified and was converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2007."

CHARDONNAY SEVEN SPRINGS ESTATE LA SOURCE 2019
"The grapes for La Source come from just down the slope in the Seven Springs vineyard from the top-of-the-line Summum bottling, but are tended with the same biodynamic methods, and the fermentation is the same. They are now using 500 litre Austrian puncheons from Stockinger with a very light toast, and the slightly reductive style still shows the influence of mentor Dominique Laron. La Source is similar to Summum but creamy and a bit softer, yet it has a charm of its own."

CHARDONNAY SEVEN SPRINGS ESTATE SUMMUM 2019
"This one of the top sites for Chardonnay in Oregon. The grapes are pressed as whole clusters and run directly into used casks for fermentation on native yeasts. The wine does full malolactic conversion, but it neither stirred nor racked during aging. The result has a lovely ripe apple and quince fruit with a suggestion of chamomile. The texture is creamy and rich, but there is no fat, and the overall impression is very Burgundian. Superb length and great aging potential make this is an imposing wine."

"Drawing fruit from their storied Seven Springs vineyard, Evening Land has long been a source for some of Oregon’s best and most complex Chardonnays."
Josh Raynolds, Vinous
