Evening Land’s 2022 Pinot Noir Summum presents a refined expression of Willamette Valley from sustainably farmed vineyards. The estate, founded to marry Burgundian principles with Oregon terroir, harvests low-yield vines by hand. Fermented with native yeasts in small lots and aged in gently seasoned French oak, it delivers a structured, elegant wine with fine-grained tannins.

This top-tier bottling anchors their Pinot lineup, offering poised red cherry and baking spice framed by balanced acidity and terroir-driven precision.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Summum is perfumed with peppery florals and dusty lavender, complementing crushed wild berries. This is full of energy, cooling and racy, with depths of tart red fruit cascading beneath an air of violet and rose. It takes on a grippy sensation as fine tannins mount toward the close. The Summum is fermented using 30-40% whole clusters and refined in 60% new French oak." -Eric Guido

Robert Parker

RP 94
"Fermented with whole clusters, the 2022 Pinot Noir Summum unfurls dramatically on the nose, wafts of tar and underbrush giving way to cranberry, autumn leaves and dried flowers. The medium-bodied palate has a concentrated core of nuanced fruit. It’s structured by silky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, bitters-laced finish." -Erin Brooks

Decanter

D 96
"The Summum comes from the lowest-yielding vines in the La Source parcel and this wine is made with 33% whole cluster. The aromatics balance elegance with deep umami character. Elements of turned earth and smoky rose petals play off against tart blackberries and blood oranges. The palate shows a concentration of fruit yielding freshness throughout. Plum skin and blackberries with mint are given over to savoury herbs, mouthfuls of dried violets, turned earth, smoked sea salt and a hint of nori, a wonderful display of umami and forest floor."

Wine Spectator

WS 96
"This impeccably structured version shows a simmering intensity that remains graceful on the palate, with detailed raspberry flavors that draw in accents of forest floor and rose petal as this builds tension and richness toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2034."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 96
"The newest Summum is a showstopper. Fresh, floral aromas of mainland roses and tropical plumeria flowers join together with tart red raspberry and roasted pork shoulder notes. A crisp mouthfeel and texture showcase flavors like Rainier cherries, lime and bittersweet dark chocolate. Pour this with grilled portobello mushrooms and Coltrane's “Giant Steps.”" -Michael Alberty
