Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2010 vintage opens with honey suckle on the nose, with the richness of a Sauternes. Fruit aromas of fig and melon are followed by more complex notes of honey and brown sugar. Baking spices with hints of vanilla and almond follow as caramelized sugar notes add to the voluptuous depth of aromas...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Rich and oaky, this has apricot, orange, vanilla and buttered toast flavors, with crisp acidity providing balance. It takes the popular Chardonnay style to an upper level in terms of the balance and the fanciness of oak.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Sophisticated and polished, reflecting its mature, low-yield vines. the aroma is bursting with lychee fruit, fig and ripe pear. Finish has creamy oak, with just a touch of minerality.

The Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay shows complex aromas of citrus blossom, stone fruit, nutmeg and crushed stone. These flavors carry through on the palate to display a balanced and elegant wine that delivers firm acidity, richness and persistence.
