The 2015 'Carneros' Chardonnay by Rombauer is another gorgeous wine from this storied Napa estate. The 2015 vintage was the earliest harvest ever and had low yields from the Carneros vineyards which sourced the excellent Chardonnay wine. This wine was aged 9 months in French and American oak prior to bottling. Immediately drawn in by the honey color, this dense Chardonnay has aromatics of butterscotch, wild mushroom, white peach, crème brûlée and golden delicious apple. This leads to rich flavors of banana, pear, mango, and roasted pineapple. This is simply delicious as there is excellent overall poise and mid-palate weight leading into the finish.
