Valravn Chardonnay, Sonoma County, USA 2021 Case (6x750ml) Pra intense expression of individual terroirA nice interplay between subtle oak spices and generous, ripe fruit flavors gives this full bodied wine a rich but not overpowering expression. Nuances of toast, butter, poached pears and peach syrup lend an extra confectionary flair to the palate and lingering finish. 92 Pts Wine Enthusiast A charming nose of lemon curd, fresh thyme, wet stone and sliced green apple. Medium bodied with bright acidity and a smooth texture. Clean and fresh. Lovely. 91
