Excellent and paradigmatic Chardonnay. The nose is so fragrant and complex, filled with flowers and vanilla. The palette is complex with different flavors in the attack, middle, and finish. It starts with tropical fruit flavor (pineapple and lichee) , moves to vanilla and oak, and finishes with a sour flavor. A great wine. And under $40. — 15 days ago

Very delicious Smokey, Oaky flavors. Not as much on the dark fruit side as I had liked it to be. — 4 years ago

Almost oxidatif, but it‘s more the flavours of its age. Elegant and smooth. Pears and flowers. Elena and Zio! — 10 days ago

This smooth Sangiovese is balanced and sweet, with bright blueberry flavors and a touch of residual sugar, just enough to stand up to spicy Italian food. Bellissimo! — 8 months ago

The 2020 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch is a very pretty, exotic wine. Tangerine oil, passionfruit, dried flowers, mint, almond and chamomile give the Zio Tony a tropical profile that is so attractive. In this vintage, the Zio Tony is a bit lighter in body than it can be, but that is not a bad thing. All the elements are very well balanced throughout. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2023)

Very surprised by this. Bold and rich sweet fruit well integrated with the oak. Surprised that the high alcohol did not overwhelm this finely made wine. — 5 years ago
