Patz & Hall 2012 Zio Tony Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Zio Tony Ranch
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Patz & Hall / Russian River Valley

Zesty, full-bodied and expansive on the palate, this is a wine that comes around in time, in the glass and in the bottle or decanter. Briny and dancing a fine line between brawn and beauty, it paints a picture of classic green and yellow apple and subtle vanilla spice, with a tropical flirtation happening in the background. Structured, it should cellar well, through 2020.
