title: Freeman 2006 Ryo-fu Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
description: Oak dominates this Chard. It's an example of the old criticism, drinking toothpicks. The flavors of buttered toast, caramel, roasted meringue and crème brûlée dominate the pineapple and pear fruit, unbalancing an otherwise excellent wine.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Ryo-fu
