Ravines Finger Lakes 2016 Chardonnay, $16.99-$19.99, 91 points, was a medium glossy gold color with a yellow sheen while clearing at the rim.
Aromas of moderate oak notes with hints of dusty tangerine peel and honeysuckle were pleasant.
The off-dry medium-plus bodied white wine showed good acidity and delivered complexity and density of well-balanced fig, oak, Chardonnay grape, and dragon fruit flavors.
Finished long on the trailing palate, hints of ginger, pear, a remarkably accommodating 12.5% alcohol, and a building white pepper which then diminished suddenly.
Paired very well with my baked Icelandic cod loin.

I would LOVE to try that Riesling...are there three different vineyards? (Well, two and a blend.)
