The Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2014 is bursting with bright, summery fruit flavors. Sipping this wine will make you want to sit outdoors under the warm sun and relax. The wine is the color of sun-bleached straw in the glass, and it shows exuberant aromas of cut pineapple, green apple, melon, and biscotti. Flint and toasted oak add a bit of intrigue. The palate is refreshing and citrusy, with ginger root, limestone, earth, and fresh lemon zest. Enjoy this white wine when you have time to relax and enjoy some time with friends or family.
