The 2016 'Evenstad Reserve' Chardonnay is a stunning wine by the incredibally talented winemaking team at Domaine Serene let by Michael Fay. There is remarkable complexity aromatically as the the toasty oak element creeps in immediately and is immediately followed by hazelnut, brioche, lemon oil and white peach. The palate shows amazing complexity and range, lead by flavors of mango, white peach, vanilla crème brûlée, lemon zest and starfruit flavors which all mingle together marvelously in the glass. The acidity and viscosity of the wine is simply incredible, making it nearly impossible to resist now, however this fantastic wine has the potential to age beautifully over next ten to fifteen years.
