Shafer Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch 2023

A perfect balance of tangy citrus, ripe pear, and delicate toasted oak. A truly classic expression of California Chardonnay. The nose is rich with buttery, floral aromas, with a touch of bruised apple and a hint of herby brightness. On the palate, it’s creamy with vibrant apple flavors, light-bodied but still satisfying, and a subtle tropical twist of lychee. Notes of green apple, lemon oil, lime, and powder sugar add a zesty freshness. Fresh and lively yet well-rounded, this is a delightful, timeless Chardonnay.
