| 2017 Martinelli Chardonnay Charles Ranch Fort Ross-Seaview, Sonoma, CA WB Rating: 91 Alcohol by volume: 14.9% Price at time of purchase: $58.00 (from winery) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay I sometimes find the Charles Ranch a little steely and lacking charm, but not this one. While maintaining a beautiful acid tang, it is nicely filled out with apple and stone fruit flavors and a dense (and typical) mineral component. Fresh as springtime, with lovely floral notes. The high alcohol level is not noticeable at all - which seems to be a hallmark of many Martinelli gems. - HK 2021-05-01 [Back] |
