2012 Patz & Hall Zio Tony Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay

14.2% alc., 350 cases, $65. Patz & Hall has made Chardonnay from this vineyard since 2003. · Light golden yellow color in the glass. Aromas of citrus, apple, marzipan and buttered toast. Soft and pleasing in the mouth, with moderately rich layers of apple and citrus flavors integrated nicely with oak. A beautifully crafted wine that finishes with a zippy cut of acidity and a charge of lemon and apple flavors that leave a good impression. Score: 91. Reviewed April 20, 2015
