Shafer 2018 Chardonnay Red Shoulder   

2018 Shafer Vineyards • Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch Carneros

NVWE Notes: This is a classic Shafer Red Shoulder Chardonnay: offering flashy aromas of fresh applesauce, white peach, quince jam and vanilla wafer, with suggestions of lemon cream pie, toasted meringue and hazelnut nougat. Lemon cream pie, golden fig, applesauce, peach pit, pineapple core and toasted hazelnut meringue fan-out in a rich textural wave on the palate, yet things stay food-balanced despite this otherwise dramatic presentation. Delicious and lingering, it seems more or less ready, although another year or two of cellar-time will certainly do no harm.
