“Good bright yellow. Apple and honey on the nose. Plump and sweet, with noteworthy intensity to its orchard and stone fruit flavors. This, too, comes across as rather powerful but there’s very good concentration here.”

“The 2007 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch exhibits gorgeous notes of honeysuckle, green apple, lemon butter, melon, and vanilla. This rich, full-bodied Chardonnay possesses substantial flavor intensity, but is also refined and elegant. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years.” - Robert Parker

“From the Russian River, the 2006 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch exhibits copious citrus and mineral characteristics along with hints of honeyed grapefruit, wet rocks, and spice. This clean, crisp, mediumbodied Chardonnay is slightly monolithic, but it will offer attractive drinking over the next 2-3 years.” -Robert Parker
