Tasting notes
The 2017 Chardonnay La Source opens a bit reductive. Still, it reveals notes of white flowers, hints of wax, bright green apples, and quince. Medium-bodied, it offers refreshing acidity, which this cool vintage delivers, accompanied by a chalky, pithy texture and a refined finish. This release was entirely made by Sashi Moorman. The team at Evening Land is currently overseen by winemakers Sashi Moorman and John Faulkner.

The 2017 Chardonnay La Source delights the senses with a spicy blend of flinty crushed stones, green apples, and hints of ginger and sage. It splashes across the palate with ripe orchard fruits, coming across as supple and round, with stimulating acidity and saline minerals that create a crunchy sensation toward the close. The 2017 tapers off with a salty flourish and notes of sour lime, savory and intense, leaving the mouth watering for more. What a beauty.
The 2017 Chardonnay La Source is scented of poached pears, honeyed apples, hazelnut and crushed shell with gentle floral nuances. The palate is medium-bodied and silky, and it explodes with fresh fruit flavors permeated by a wicked line of crushed rock minerality and matched by tangy acidity, finishing very long and energetic.
