Shafer Vineyards Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch, Napa Valley, California 2021

A properly huge Chardonnay coming in at almost 15% ABV and with 14 months of aging in 75% new French oak — If you like BIG Chardonnays, this one will surely please. Fermented and aged in individual oak barrels (75% new/25% stainless). This wine did not go through malolactic conversion, thus retaining excellent acidity and crispness.  Tasting Notes "melon, honeysuckle, apricot, pineapple, and flint all held together with lithe structure, pitch-perfect balance, and energy that comes from pure, elegant acidity." - Elias Fernandez, Shafer's winemaker Variety 100% ChardonnayRegion Carneros AVA, Napa Valley, CA from Red Shoulder Ranch VineyardVolume 750mlAlcohol Volume 14.9% MUST BE 21+ TO ORDER SHIPPING INCLUDED WITH $250+ ORDERS 12 BOTTLES SHIPS FREE
