The 2013 'Evenstad Reserve' Chardonnay is another exceptional showing from Domaine Serene in this vintage. Aged for 13 months in 31% French oak, this stunning Chardonnay offers vivid aromatics with nutmeg, vanilla bean, lemon curd and suggestions of orange blossoms. It possesses a lovely weighty texture, displaying flavors of orchard fruits, crème brûlée, Meyer lemon, browned butter and baking spices, all leading to an exceedingly long finish. This has a seamless quality, yet demonstrates notable definition considering the warmth of the vintage. Showing extreamly well right now, and is certinaly amongst the best Chardonnay in the state.
