Raen, Fort Ross-Seaview Charles Ranch Chardonnay Vintage:2017 This is a little exuberantThe 2017 Chardonnay Charles Ranch is flinty on the nose to begin, taking time to reveal white peach, lemon peel, pie crust and honey. The palate is much more open, offering generous layers of honeyed, spicy fruit. It has an expansive, satiny texture balanced by bright acidity and a long, complex finish. It will continue to gain savory complexity over the next decade.
