Evening Land Vineyards Summum Seven Springs Vineyard Chardonnay 2015
Summum continues to offer itself as the finest wine from Seven Springs. Sourced from 14 rows of vines that thread the spine of the Seven Springs, this bottling routinely deepens belief in the special terroir of our vineyard. Latin for 'the utmost', the 2014 Summum Chardonnay is just that. The juxtaposition of sumptuousness and vivacity is purely the product of the special volcanic soils underlying these vines. That Summum is vinified in an almost identical manner to the La Source Chardonnay further cements the Summum vine rows as a peerless parcel. The fruit from the Summum parcel was gently pressed into 100% new Stockinger puncheons, undergoing spontaneous and indigenous fermentation. The wine was raised in the same puncheons for 10 months before being racked to tank. After 6 months in tank, Summum underwent a light fining before bottling.

Summum: Popped and poured; enjoyed with our first course of corn chowder. The 2015 Summum pours a bright neon yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is youthful with bright notes Meyer lemon, star fruit, yellow flowers, some butter, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and has a chalky texture. The balance of fruit and minerals soooo Eola-Amity Hills. Drink now through 2030.

Out of Magnum. Incredibly polar opposite from the 2007 for a million reasons, most notably 07 was one of the coldest vintages and 15 was one of the warmest vintages on record. Beautiful wine, showing primary fruit right now with great backbone and acidity. This has structure that many 15’s are missing. Something to be said for this being one of the great Chardonnay sites in the world
