Rombauer Vineyards produced their first Chardonnay with the 1982 vintage, but it wasn't until 1990 that the Rombauer family made their first Chardonnay from the Carneros region, where the San Pablo Bay meets the southern end of Napa and Sonoma valleys. The cool climate and soils of this region provide ideal conditions for this quintessential Carneros Chardonnay with the Rombauer hallmarks of intense fruit flavors balanced by fresh acidity.
Rombauer Chardonnay 2023 is an exquisite wine that showcases a beautiful balance between rich, concentrated fruit flavors and refreshing acidity. Ripe peach, citrus fruits, spice, and pie crust aromas all mingle and lift from the glass. The citrus supported by notes of apricot continues onto the palate which is concentrated with a rich, creamy middle palate, and strong supporting acidity. The finish is long and marked with hints of vanilla. This wine will continue to build richness as it ages in the bottle.
It is an excellent wine to pair with a wide variety of dishes, including roasted chicken, grilled seafood, and pasta with creamy sauces.
92 Wine Enthusiast Butter, oak and vanilla flavors dominate the aroma and flavor of this full-bodied, heavily oaked wine. It has a dessert-like quality that is honeyed on the palate and lingers sweetly on the finish.
