Year in year out Shafer consistently offers one of the fullest, tastiest Chardonnays in California, always well-balanced and super-viscous. This 2017 Red Shoulder Ranch is gigantic in pineapple, nectarine, ripe apricot, pear, mango, tangerine and honey, yet so refreshing and dense with mineral edges and a crispness that somehow manages to finish dry. A magical Chardonnay that delivers the best of Old and New World in one.
