Wine Review: This is a big California style Chardonnay. It is golden yellow colored and its bouquet has aromas of buttery caramel, cedar and light citrus. It is full bodied, creamy and mouth coating, with good acidity. The flavors profile features ripe pear, pineapple and creme brulee with hints of light oak and minerality. The finish is slightly spicy and lingers quite a while. I would enjoy this Chard with a baked stuffed lobster. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Farmed by our family for decades, Home Ranch Vineyard is located at the southeast end of Dry Creek Valley. This vintage shows wonderful aromas of melon, fig, green apple and citrus with slight oaky spice. Expect bright acidity and a long finish.
