Wine Expert Note:

The Rutherford Ranch Reserve Chardonnay is a delightful and elegant white wine. It hails from the renowned Rutherford region, known for producing exceptional Chardonnays. This particular wine showcases the true essence of the varietal with its rich and complex flavors. On the nose, you can expect enticing aromas of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, along with hints of citrus and vanilla. These aromas continue to unfold on the palate, where the wine displays a beautiful balance between fruitiness and acidity. The Rutherford Ranch Reserve Chardonnay has a luscious and creamy texture, thanks to its partial oak aging. This imparts subtle notes of toasted oak and a touch of butter, adding depth and complexity to the wine. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of ripe fruit and a touch of minerality. It pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, seafood, and creamy pasta dishes. Enjoy it now or cellar it for a few years to allow the flavors to further develop.
