The ‘Evenstad Reserve’ Chardonnay represents the art of blending select barrels from our estate vineyard sites in the Dundee Hills. This combination of Dijon clone vines, Jory soil, and the high-elevation estates in the Dundee Hills produces fruit of unparalleled quality for this reserve wine.
The 2020 vintage of this acclaimed wine perfectly showcases the best of each vineyard that goes into the compelling blend. This warm vintage gives way to complex, dynamic fruit with unique depth and richness. An enticing ripe orange and peach medley acts as the melody, with high notes of citrus blossom. The oak treatment is flawlessly integrated, with a lingering minerality and salinity completing the symphony. This wine will certainly deserve a place in the cellar of the discerning collector of fine Chardonnays.

"Orchard fruit meets the tropics here, with apricots duking it out with passion fruit for aromatic supremacy. I also enjoyed the wine's floral and spicy mix of plumeria and gardenia. The flavors are a wall of lemon, with lemon bars and lemon balm tea holding court, joined by a bit of saline. Lively acidity is a bonus."
