Wente 2014 Riva Ranch Chardonnay Arroyo Seco Monterey California

Description

Beautifully rich yet balanced, this 91-point award winner is a distinctly California-style Chardonnay from the winner of the first ever Legendary Family of Chardonnay Award, an honor bestowed upon Wente Family Estates by The International Chardonnay Symposium. From the famed Arroyo Seco region, this vintage displays deep fruit aromas and flavors. Barrel aging gives it a hint of oaky flavor mixed with buttery notes and a touch of vanilla. “A Chard with lovely balance—just enough toast, butter, and vanilla on the rich palate, with excellent acidity to keep the package bright. Think lemon brûlée served in an apple orchard just after a rain.” Sara Schneider, Sunset Magazine.
