Ryan Patrick 2009 Naked Chardonnay (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Naked
Variety: Chardonnay Washington
Winery: Ryan Patrick / Columbia Valley (WA)

Stainless steel fermented and aged Chardonnay (eg ‘naked’) is becoming commonplace, but few offer as much snap and juicy fruitiness as this one. It’s a great, round mouthful of grape juice, crisp green apple and suggestions of pineapple and citrus. A little fresh herb rounds out the finish.
