Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch 2004 Marcassin

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

The 2004 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch, which I tasted last year, seems to have barely moved after 12 months of aging. A beautiful effort from the Goldridge soils of the Russian River, it exhibits a lovely floral component intermixed with notions of nectarines, orange marmalade, white currants, and underlying minerality. Superb acidity gives youthfulness and vibrancy as well as delineation to all of the wine’s component parts. This full-bodied, beautiful Chardonnay should age for a decade or more.

Springs to life on the palate, with ultrarich layers of fig, nectarine, smoke and mineral. Full-bodied, elegant, sleek and focused, ending with a long finish of apple, lime and subtle butterscotch.
