The 2007 Ferrari-Carano Tré Terre Chardonnay from Russian River Valley is a full-bodied wine with delicious aromas of citrus, pear, peach, and mineral notes complemented by rich flavors of apple, fig, nutmeg, and brown sugar spice. An elegant wine with rich fruit, the Tré Terre Chardonnay is perfectly balanced with nice acidity and depth.
