Shafer Vineyards Chardonnay 2006 Red Shoulder Ranch
..this offering reveals crisp, elegant, melony characteristics along with fresh fruit, good acidity, medium body, and plenty of tropical fruit and honeysuckle notes. Approximately 75% was barrel-fermented and 25% was aged in stainless steel, which gives the wine more crispness.' Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 88 points
