2008 Evening Land Oregon Pinot Noir

A Ponzi Wine Bar exclusive!! One of Burgundies most infamous winemakers, Dominique Lafon, created quite a stir when he branched out and agreed to consult for wines made from Oregon’s renowned Seven Springs Vineyard under the label, Evening Land Vineyards. In fact, ELV also approached Dominique to help out with projects in California and his response was something to the effect of, “I only have interest in making wine in one other place other than Burgundy; OREGON!” How cool is that!!?

This wine is something that Mr. Lafon refers to as, “Pour ma goule” or, loosely translated, “for my gullet” —In other words, what this star studded winemaker would drink at home with his family and share with friends; a superstar’s house pour, if you will. It is, in a word, incredible. Perfumed, floral aromatics, creamy texture and wonderful earthy nuances that only add to an amazing amount of complexity. This is the steal of the century!!
$25/Btl – $270/Case, includes a 10% case discount
