New Rombauer 2015 Chardonnay Carneros now available! Rombauer Vineyards' 2015 Carneros Chardonnay has enticing aromas of bright citrus and melon are layered with spice, vanilla and a touch of butter. Vibrant flavors of mango and guava meld with vanilla and soft spice on the creamy, rich palate. The finish is juicy and satisfying with refreshing acidity that makes you crave another sip True Chardonnay fans have Rombauer at the top of their list year in and year out. The new release of the Rombauer Carneros Chardonnay is golden yellow color with a pale hue. Seductive aromas of peach, melon, and citrus are balanced with honeysuckle and vanilla. On the palate, flavors of pears, peaches and melons are backed with lively acidity. A nice touch of vanilla-scented oak provides an added flavor dimension. The creamy palate has a lingering finish of melon and citrus fruit with a satisfying buttery complexity. Our favorite pairing for this wine includes scallops in a cream sauce, pasta carbonara, chicken risotto and Cornish game hen. Harvested at 25 Brix.

Incredible! Wasn't a true fan of oak until now. Notes of spice, butter, caramel, clove, apple and pear. Medium-plus bodied and a long excellent finish! Favorite Chardonnay so far, at least that is oaked.

Deep gold color. Nose of lemon, honey & vanilla. Vanilla, cream, pepper and citrus to taste initially when cold. After warming over a couple of hours of breathing, oak and brown sugar came in more strongly along with the citrus moving to tangerine.
