Score 92/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2018
Shafer's 2015 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is creamy, open-knit and super-expressive. Orchard fruit, white flowers and mint are nicely pushed forward, but it is the wine's balance and sense of harmony that stand out most. Lightly buttered notes and a kiss of French oak add the closing touches.

About the producer

Shafer Vineyards
The site of Shafer has been around since 1880, and grapes continued to be grown here, even during prohibition. It is said that some wine was made here during that time. In 1972, John Shafer bought the property in the Stag’s Leap district, he immediately began planting the Cabernet on the hillside.
