Wente Chardonnay Riva Ranch Reserve 2004

Arroyo Seco, Monterey County, Central Coast, California, United StatesLove the immediate intensity here on the nose and the palate. Riva Ranch gets the full sur lie and malolactic treatment but its tropical fruit flavours remain bright and tasty with honeyed, red apple, brioche notes. The finish is long and smooth with nutty, oily, vanilla undertones. Well done.Tasted: 13 May 2007Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
