Zio Tony Ranch Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
The 2020 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch is a very pretty, exotic wine. Tangerine oil, passionfruit, dried flowers, mint, almond and chamomile give the Zio Tony a tropical profile that is so attractive. In this vintage, the Zio Tony is a bit lighter in body than it can be, but that is not a bad thing. All the elements are very well balanced throughout. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2023)

Lovely gold/yellow color. Massive nose of popcorn, butter, and camomile. Wine smoothers the glass. Palate needs some time to open up. Thick wine that contains everything I smelled on the nose. I’d consider a decant.
