2006 Shafer Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch - Carneros

One of the best Chardonnays I have had from the US. Very well balanced oak, bready but not overpowering. Grapefruit, pear and tangy feeling for the great refreshing acidity. A Chardonnay that feels that it is from a cooler region with refined structure and elegance. Fantastic wine and well worth the money for this 2006. It compares well with the French Chardonnays and probably more people will like it with it excellent balance.
