Lovely florality, spice and faint herbal notes blithely dance around richer tones of white peach and dried apricot. Evening Land’s elegant 2007 Summum Seven Springs Chardonnay is lightly framed in faint oak with satiny, creamy layers at the core. Everything about this wine is fined-boned, with twinkling inner luminescence and stunning grace. The finish is quite minerally, there is perhaps even a touch of iron ore—an unexpected flourish at the close. One of the top Oregon Chards I tasted at the Oregon Chardonnay Celebration. Sample
