Tasting notes
(40 percent new French oak) Light bright yellow-gold. Ripe melon, tangerine, vanilla and a hint of smoke on the intensely perfumed nose. A subtle hint of leesiness emerges slowly and carries onto the palate, which offers concentrated Meyer lemon, honeydew and toasted brioche flavors accented by a dusty mineral nuance. Silky and focused on the impressively long finish, which leaves zesty mineral, oak spice and iodine notes behind.

The 2015 Chardonnay Evenstad Reserve has a pretty oaky nose of cedar box, coconut and vanilla over a core of ripe apricots, honeydew melon and guava with a waft of ginger. The palate is medium to full-bodied and notably wood-laced, with plenty of butterscotch and tropical fruit flavors to back up the wood, finishing with great persistence.
