Evening Land Chardonnay Description
Year after year, this wine shows equal parts verve and breadth, and 2022 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.

Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Aged for 9 months in Stockinger puncheons and six months in stainless steel, La Source presents Meyer lemon and cantaloupe aromas that are accented by bits of lavender and coconut. La Source's citrusy yuzu fruit flavor melds with pear and salty Marcona almonds. The wine's elegant nature suggests pairing with any Edith Piaf album.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
A precise and dynamic white, with compelling lemon and apricot flavors highlighted by crushed stone and zesty spice tones that sail on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 663 cases made.
