Wente Vineyards
Riva Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay
Bright and crisp fragrance of stone fruit with stronger notes of apricot.
Drinks really nicely with a fresh and crisp taste, that is a bit “steely”, with subtle buttery notes. Flavor wise, it’s very fruit forward tasting of apricot, vanilla, straw and something floral.
Was on sale at Costco for $12. Great deal for summer drinking.

Nice balanced Chardonnay hints of apple & cream & subtle oak. Great value too.

Oct 4th, 2021It’s OK. A bit too buttery for my liking. Almost reminded me of buttered green beans with a fruit after taste.

Jun 16th, 2020This 2018 vintage opened June 2020. Aroma floral with bit of fruit, butter and hint of oak. Smooth to the palate and bit buttery with some vanilla. Excellent with grilled salmon and spinach. Can linger after dinner since very smooth. Still not the Chardonnay I seek but good!
