July 23, 2026 / Acclaim 'Evenstad Reserve' Named One of the Best Chardonnays of 2026

We are thrilled to share that VinePair has officially named our 2023 Domaine Serene 'Evenstad Reserve' Chardonnay, Dundee Hills, Oregon to its definitive list of The 30 Best Chardonnays for 2026! Earning a 97-point rating, this wine stood out as a premier example of world-class Chardonnay.

"Domaine Serene’s Evenstad Reserve bottling is made by selecting and blending the best barrels produced from the winery’s estate vineyard in the Dundee Hills. This vintage offers an elegant nose with aromas of salted butter, juicy peaches, and lemon curd. The wine is aged for 13 months in (27 percent new) French oak, adding just a hint of vanilla and a subtle, creamy texture."  -Keith Beavers, VinePair

Our winemaking team carefully selects and blends only the finest barrels to create a Chardonnay that balances vibrant Willamette Valley acidity with a rich, luxurious texture. This latest recognition from VinePair corroborates our enduring commitment to quality and elegance.
