Rombauer Vineyards Carneros Chardonnay 2014
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesFrom the southern meeting point of Napa and Sonoma meet and cooled by San Pablo Bay, this classic Carneros chardonnay was whole cluster pressed and fermented in barrel where it spent nine months (mix of French and American). Ample lees stirring ramped up the creamy texture, while the time in wood built a generous, toasty structure. Rich and full bodied, with butter, fine brioche spicing, ripe honeydew and fragrant white flowers seamless on a silken palate to a vanilla bean finish. Lemon peel acidity helps keep both the wood and alcohol in check. This balanced wine is tasty in youth, but will reward with a few years in the cellar. A polished, rich and attractive pour, best enjoyed with richer seafood or poultry.Tasted: 16 June 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
