2023 Evening Land Vineyards Chardonnay Seven Springs Vineyard La Source, Oregon, United States

Year after year, this wine shows equal parts verve and breadth, and 2023 is no different. Classic notes of struck match, lemon zest and Fuji apple coalesce with hints of baking spice and lees that widen in the mouth. A long growing season and fermentation lend a freshness and high-toned character to the wine, showing as tart, salty yellow fruits that sail through the palate. Mouthwatering, zippy and poised to reveal more with years in bottle, La Source speaks to the electric side of the world’s top white grape.
