Rombauer Proprietor Chardonnay 2021

Description

Proprietor selection is a reserve chardonnay produced only in exceptional vintages by blending the best barrels from the finest lots. 2021 represents the 15th vintage in 42 years. Like all the Rombauer Chardonnays, this wine comes from Carneros where the cool climate and clay soils offer ideal growing conditions.
Fruit for this wine comes from elite vineyards in the Carneros region owned by the Rombauer family and select growers including the Sangiacomo family, long-term grower partners who have farmed this land for three generations.
Expressive and concentrated aromas of grapefruit and lime sorbet with hints of clove are present in the glass. It is rich and intense on the palate with sweet peach, cardamom, and freshly baked pastry flavors. There is a bright refreshing acidity that gives way to more stone fruit flavors that continue to build on the very long and concentrated finish.
