Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week: 2020 & 2021 Rombauer Chardonnay
Ripe peach, citrus fruits, spice, and pie crust aromas all mingle and lift from the glass. The citrus, supported by notes of apricot, continues on 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. This description holds for both vintages and is indicative of the consistency of Rombauer Chardonnay from Carneros! Food Pairings: Rich creamy pasta dishes with white sauce, chicken piccata, roast chicken, buttered lobster tails and most any kind of rich creamy cheese.
