2023 Shafer Vineyards Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay, Carneros, USA (750ml)

TASTING NOTES: This full-bodied and beautifully balanced wine is powered by energized fruit acidity. Vivid green apple and lemon zest flavors, and a snappy finish. Subtle oak notes remain secondary. Fermented in both oak barrels and stainless steel, and matured without malolactic conversion, the wine is super refreshing, clean and mouthwatering.- Wine Enthusiast, 95 pts WINEMAKER'S NOTES:  No matter what time of year you open this wine, you’ll have a taste of summer in Napa Valley. Lush aromatics fill the glass with white flowers, lemon zest, honeysuckle, clove, and flint. There is a rich balance of liveliness and density in the mouth with abundant flavors of apricot, white melon, grapefruit peel, ripe pineapple, and minerality, with a beautiful finish that goes on and on.
