Wine Review: This light yellow colored Chardonnay from Evening Land is impressive. It opens with a pineapple and pear bouquet with hints of oak. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and fruit forward. Those fruit flavors are apple and pear with notes of oak and toffee. The finish is dry and its flavors last for some time after the wine is gone. This rich Chardonnay would pair very well with lobster bisque. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Light, golden yellow in color with speckles of green, and silver edges. This wine instantly shows notes of crushed seashells, a pleasant reduction and beautiful layers of pear and lime. All is complemented by the subtle integration of oak. On the palate, the chalky, lemon zest entry is followed by a mouthwatering salinity that leads to a lengthy finish.
