Tasting notes

The 2019 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch opens with opulent scents of pineapple upside-down cake, green mango and ripe apricots with hints of candied ginger, brioche, allspice and toasted almonds. The rich, creamy-textured palate is laden with tropical fruit and juicy peach flavors, supported by a racy backbone and finishes long and spicy. (Tasted as a barrel sample.)

About this wine

Shafer Vineyard - Red Shoulder Ranch - Chardonnay

Shafer Vineyard's Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay is a beautifully crafted wine that is sure to delight any wine lover. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Red Shoulder Ranch vineyard, which is located in the heart of the Carneros region of Napa Valley. The vineyard is known for its cool climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors.

The taste profile of this wine is truly exceptional. It has a rich, creamy texture with flavors of ripe pear, apple, and citrus. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which gives it a subtle hint of vanilla and spice. The finish is long and smooth, with a touch of minerality that adds complexity to the wine.

Shafer Vineyard has a long history of producing exceptional wines. The winery was founded in 1978 by John Shafer, who had a passion for wine and a desire to create something truly special. Today, the winery is run by John's son Doug, who continues to uphold the family's tradition of excellence.

This wine is perfect for any occasion, whether you're enjoying a quiet evening at home or celebrating a special occasion with friends and family. It pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood, poultry, and pasta dishes. We recommend serving it slightly chilled to bring out the full range of flavors.

Overall, Shafer Vineyard's Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay is a must-try for any wine lover. Its exceptional taste profile, rich history, and versatility make it a wine that is sure to impress.
