2022 Shafer Vineyards Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch

Wine Advocate
94 Points
A modern-day classic, Shafer's 2022 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch continues the tradition, delivering pristine pineapple notes alongside hints of citrus curd, pencil shavings and mocha. Full-bodied, round and generous, this no-malolactic-fermentation Chardonnay harmoniously tapers down into a clean, crisp finish. The only quibble with this vintage is that it may show a touch of alcoholic warmth. Drink Date: 2024 - 2030. Joe Czerwinski Dec 29, 2023
