Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay 2022

All elegance and silk, this beautifully balanced wine offers a lively texture, with subtle lemon, toast and kiwi flavors on a full body. The mouthfeel is graceful and mouthwatering, backed by acidity that perfectly meets the generous fruit flavors. Making a wine of this caliber in thousands of cases is quite an accomplishment. Best from 2027-2032.

Robust, there's a confidence and energy to the lemon, apple, papaya and apricot flavors at the core, with notes of crushed rocks, wild fennel, and a drizzle of honey and fresh grated ginger, all circled around a fresh thread of acidity that pushes the flavors through on the long finish. Drink now through 2029. 6,000 cases made.
