Shafer Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch 25th Anniversary 2018

Chardonnay | US

WE95

$49.95 - 750mL

The 25th anniversary bottling of this iconic chardonnay does not disappoint. Shafer's signature chard style is just stunning in 2018. No malolactic fermentation so expect bright acids with perfectly ripe tropical fruits, vanilla and citrus with beautiful caramelized French oak, all singing 3 part harmony. We got advance notice of an impending 95pt. review from Wine Enthusiast in their November issue, a well deserved review for this landmark bottling from Shafer's Red Shoulder Ranch in Carneros.

About The Producer

John Shafer uprooted his family from Chicago in 1972, and bought 209 acres in what would later become Stag's Leap District. He quickly planted a small parcel of Cabernet in the hillsides above the winery at the advice of Nathan Fay and created his first wine from that planting in 1978, a precursor to their legendary Hillside Select. John's son Doug joined the family biz in 1983 and has helped shepard the winery into the international limelight.
