This is decidedly oaky on the nose, full of gingery spice with classic pineapple and lime aromas. A touch sweet and soft on entry, this is creamy with acids that perk up on the back end helping to define the pineapple fruit a touch more clearly. The wood spice is obvious but balanced by the fruit on the palate. You gotta love oak if you’re going to try this wine. 84pts

I brought this wine to a friends dinner party. He made Seafood Newburg for the main course. We found that this Chardonnay paired very well with the richness of the dish.

Over whelming flavor of a sweet spicy pear. Strong butter taste.

Mittelschweres Strohgelb mit Goldreflexen. Delikate Aromen von Limetten, Nektarinen, Pfirsich unterlegt von dezenten Röstaromen, Caramel, Butter und Vanille. Im Gaumen kräftig mit viel Schmelz und gut im Hintergrund eingebundenen Holzaromen. Sehr langer, erfrischender und warmer Abgang.

This elegant Chardonnay has an attractive pale strawyellow color. The aromas are of pear, apple and stone fruits, combined with a perfumed roasted hazelnut and butterscotch bouquet from the barrel fermentation and sur lie aging. The flavors are very soft with ripe pear, tangelo citrus and vanilla toastiness, producing layers of complexity with a silky balance of fresh fruit acidity and palate-weight. -Jeff Meier, winemaker ** SOLD OUT **

Winemaker's Notes:

The Riverstone Chardonnay is brassy yellow in color, with Arroyo Seco appellation terroir-based aromas of peach pie, green apricots, bosc pear, lime and wet stones. This wonderful fruit is complemented by a buttery, toasty, vanilla oak bouquet from the barrel fermentation and sur lie aging. The flavors echo the aromas with stone fruits, pear, butter, and toasty oak, producing layers of complexity with an excellent balance of acidity and palate weight making it ideal for pairing with richly textured fish and shellfish or cream sauced pasta dishes.
