The Garden Of Eden Ridge..

Eden Ridge 2013. A fantastic chardonnay from Mendocino.   Truett Hurst (Phil Hurst), is the producer, a Mendocino expert.  Ginnie Lambrix is the winemaker, one of my favorite women of wine.  She crafts this wine like an artist creating life on canvas. The nose has pleasant aromas of tree fruits apple, pear, peaches and lemony citrus notes.  A variable garden of Eden, get it ????   The fruit is abundant in the mouth.  Full forward and finishing long into the night.  Citrus flavors, hints of oak, but not the whole tree, and definite apple, and oohh is that butterscotch and maybe even vanilla, yes definitely vanilla I notice. Exceptionally balanced pulling all of the flavors and acidity into perfect harmony.  So much going on here and less than 15 dollars.  What else on earth do you need. Pair this wine with chicken, fish, seafood, or just enjoy it by the glass.
Enjoy
Look at that color, just beckoning you to partake!!!
