2013 DOMAINE SERENE EVENSTAD RESERVE CHARDONNAY ELSEWHERE (NOT AVAILABLE) - SPECIAL $52.99 “I’ve attempted to acquire this wine for over two years for my Shamrock Selections club and have finally gotten a few cases to share with you. Rated 95 by James Suckling (Wine Spectator), the 2013 offers a complex bouquet of aromas that develop from citrus fruit to floral characteristics. It is characterized by notes of minerality, lemon meringue and citrus zest. On the palate, the wine shows lovely purity and length, with the right balance of weight and acidity and a long and persistent finish. 1500 cases produced. Only a few cases available.” – O’Looney
