The 2014s from Evening Land: Oregon's new pacesetter

Yesterday I got to taste the as yet unreleased 2014s from Evening Land Vineyards. This is the first step in a new phase of the project, which is based on the Seven Springs Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills of Oregon. Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman (Domaine de la Côte and Sandhi from the Santa Rita Hills in Santa Barbara County, California) took over in 2014 and saw the finishing of the 2012 and 2013 vintages that were then in barrel. And 2014 was the first vintage that they were completely involved in from start to finish. So there’s been a label change to coincide with this regime change.
