Ferrari-Carano 2009 Emelia’s Cuvée Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Emelia’s Cuvée
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Ferrari-Carano / Russian River Valley

Despite vastly rich tropical fruit flavors and plenty of sweet oak, this wine is equipped with brilliant acidity and a stony minerality that give it balance. Kudos to the winemaker for letting the terroir shine through. Will be fine with the richest Chardonnay-friendly foods you can muster.
