Winemaker Notes

Fragrant aromas of yellow peach and ripe melon are found on the nose, interspersed with bright citrus notes. These continue on the palate with notes of creamy vanilla and buttery nuances on the long finish. Rombauer’s signature bright acidity is evident throughout each sip, balancing the softness of the midpalate.

Favorite Joy of Cooking pairings for this wine include crab cakes, barley risotto, and strawberry shortcake.

Winery Notes

Rombauer has been at the top of its game for decades and shows no signs of slowing down. They are the masters of opulent, ripe, and approachable Chardonnay. In the words of the immortal Jon Bon Jovi, “Millions of fans can’t be wrong.” The 2023 Vintage is a class act, with ripe peach and delicate citrus fruits dancing around pie crust aromas and spice. 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.
