2018 Rombauer Vineyards Chardonnay, Carneros, USA (1.5L)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Pale light yellow with a green hue. Aromas of ripe peach, honeydew, and lemon rind intertwine seamlessly with vanilla and spice. The aromas are followed by flavors of lychee and yellow peach which meld perfectly with the cream texture, vanilla and slight butter. The finish builds with more peach and spice, while the acidity maintains the freshness and structure. The wine will continue to gain weight and depth over the next 12 months, revealing additional notes of nectarine, butter and spice.

Pair this with tuna-avocado burgers, lobster rolls and fettuccine with salmon and asparagus.

TASTING NOTES:

Lemon-curd, ripe-apricot and toasted-hazelnut aromas. It’s full-bodied and rich with lots of ripe fruit and praline.
