High Quality Reserve Bottling
This Chardonnay from Oregon opens with a fresh and breezy aroma of Bosc pears, white peaches and fresh-cut grass followed by a crisp burst of acidity and flavors of lemon zest, Golden Delicious apples, green melons and some olive oil with a bite. The ‘Evenstad Reserve’ Chardonnay from Oregon’s Willamette Calley represents the art of blending select barrels from the estate vineyard sites in the Dundee Hills.

Great Value in the Burgundy style
The Cuvée Lunatique is a chardonnay from Oregon with a fresh and clean focus made in a style similar to the white wines of the Mâcon in Burgundy. Just-ripened pineapple and a salty mineral tension deliver a subtle zing on the palate before it finishes with a crisp lemon twist.
