The ‘Evenstad Reserve’ Chardonnay represents the art of blending select barrels from our estate vineyard sites in the Dundee Hills. Our belief is that the combination of Dijon clone vines, Jory soil and the high elevation of our Dundee Hills estates gives us fruit of unparalleled quality for this reserve wine.
The 2018 vintage of this acclaimed wine perfectly showcases the best of each vineyard that goes into the compelling blend. An enticing tropical medley of kiwi and yellow peach act as the melody, with high notes of white flower and fresh linen. 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.
96 Points James Suckling:
“Impressive complexity and poise from the outset with aromas of sliced peach and nectarine, as well as pear and honeydew. Some wet stones, too. The palate has impressive fluidity with intense, fleshy pears and white peaches, threaded with a savory, toasted-hazelnut edge.”
94 Points Wine Enthusiast:
“This is a standout among the winery’s very strong Chardonnay portfolio. It’s densely packed with flavors of lemon, lime, grapefruit and pineapple, offering a posh mix of citrus set against zippy acidity. A hint of citrus peel puts a frame around the finish and sets this up for cellaring. Enjoy through 2028.”
93 Points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“The 2018 Chardonnay Evenstad Reserve has a nose of golden apples and citrus with wafts of floral perfume. The palate manages delicacy with loads of powerful flavor, with a fresh, bright acidic frame and a very long, mineral-laced finish.”
