Domaine Serene Description

An enticing tropical medley of kiwi and yellow peach act as the melody, with high notes of white flower and fresh linen. The oak treatment is flawlessly integrated, with a lingering minerality and salinity completing the symphony. This wine will certainly deserve a place in the cellar of the discerning collector of fine Chardonnays.

James Suckling: 96 Points

Aromas of oyster shell, baked lemon and aniseed. Full-bodied but tight. Steady and harmonious on the palate, with lovely length and balance. It’s driven, yet holds back at the finish. Textured, too. Delicious. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

The 2019 Chardonnay Evenstad Reserve opens with matchstick tones that give way to delicate chamomile, beeswax and mushroom. The palate is focused and tangy with saline-tinged fruit, and there's a notably long, shimmery finish.

Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points

You wouldn't call this wine shy or spare, and yet it's restrained and less plush than past versions. Showing a delicious mix of pear, melon and citrus fruits, it sports refreshing acidity and buttery oak in equal proportions. Instantly likable, it should carry nicely on through the rest of the decade.

Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points

The 2019 Chardonnay Evenstad Reserve was aged for 14 months in 100% new French oak. The nose is fresh with white flowers, honeydew melon, and delicate oak spice, followed by a medium-bodied palate with refreshing acidity and notes of peach, lime zest, and chalky earth.
