MacRostie Winery and Vineyards, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay 2018

 Year after year MacRostie Chardonnay is always outstanding and the 2018 vintage is no exception — in fact better than ever in some ways.  There is plenty of ripe, rich fruit here but in no way is it overstated.  Instead, the fruit is a team player, neatly tag-teaming with the subtle spice of oak and the freshness that acidity brings to the blend.
