title: Freeman 2009 Ryo-Fu Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Similar to the 2006 vintage, this '09 is rather sweet and candied in new oaky vanilla, buttered toast, honey and caramel flavors. Underneath is plenty of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. The sweetness detracts from what otherwise is a fine, crisp, minerally wine.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Ryo-Fu
