Shafer Vineyards
25 Years Red Shoulder Ranch Napa Valley Chardonnay
Rich, buttery and luscious. Barrel fermented. Oak is there but the right amount to balance the ripe fruit. Definitely a full bodied opulent Chardonnay - stone fruit and cashew. Low in acid. I think Jancis’s drinking window of 2021-2025 is about right. I wouldn’t want to be drinking this in 2028 or later.

Apr 20th, 2024Goldenrod in color. Beautiful blend of fruit and acidity. Very drinkable now and can easily withstand a few years.
