Tongue Dancer, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay Pratt Vineyard, Irwin Lane 2021

($59):  Wow!  Here in the 2021 Pratt Vineyard Chardonnay the winemaking team at Tongue Dancer has combined opulence with finesse.  Freshness in the finish serves to amplify the wine’s considerable charm.  A delectable hint of bitterness in the finish reinforces its stature and complexity.  This is a style that many California Chardonnay aim for and only a few achieve.
