At Evening Land, the goal is to explore great terroir and reflect that greatness in every bottle that we produce. This begins in the vineyard with a constant stewardship of the land. We strive to make wines that reflect only the essence of the vineyard – the unique conjunction between a place, nature and time. Nothing is added; nothing is removed. We practice precision viticulture and let the land express itself. We embrace the unique character of every vintage. Our wines are created with energy, purity, transparency and elegance with insistence on true appreciation of site.
Situated in the southeastern Eola-Amity Hills, our Seven Springs Vineyard is dry-farmed using biodynamic practices. The Pacific Ocean breeze, volcanic soil, eastern exposure, and high elevation contribute to the natural preservation of the grapes' acidity and enrich the wines with elegant flavors and minerality.
Sixty-five acres were initially planted in the early 1980’s. Today, Seven Springs Vineyard is a 70 acre vineyard. The vineyard's soil consists of iron-rich, volcanic rock with a thin layer of top soil - less than 36 inches right along the volcanic flow line.
Jake Assaf
Certified Sommelier
Somm (n.) - a shortened reference for sommelier, a trained and knowledgeable wine professional. SOMM (film) - a documentary by Director Jason Wise about the Master Sommelier examination. Similar to the celebrity chef phenomenon and due in-part to the documentary film series SOMM (available on Netflix), wine professionals are seeing their own emergence and nod on the global stage. We’re proud to introduce our own resident Somm and Managing Partner, Jake Assaf. Jake’s been a humble servant of the grape for more than 14 years and eagerly boasts ‘someone has got to taste wine and cheese for the rest of us.’ Jake is excellent at just that and is also a jedi master at pairing wines to perfectly suit your tastes and preferences. He personally selects the wines on our tap system (8 wines available on draft) and reserve bottle list. Our wines rotate frequently and aim to introduce you to wines you’ve never tried from producers you’ve likely not heard of. Not sure what you like? You're in good hands and we can't wait to pour you a proper glass.
