Wente Riva Ranch Reserve Chardonnay 2004
Chardonnay
from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
The 2004 Riva Ranch Chardonnay is an exceptional
balance between the characters of the fruit, the sur lie barrel ageing, and the malolactic fermentation. As usual, the fruit component of our Arroyo Seco Chardonnay is tropical in nature, with bright green apple aromas surrounded by hints of vanillas, graham, and toast from the barrels. Rounding out this wine is the subtle level of butter from the
malolactic fermentation, providing a full mouth feel and smooth finish.

I hesitate to recommend this beautiful wine only because I want to have it all for myself. Absolutely delicious. For my taste, what a chardonnay should be.

we have been three times to the wente tasting room and blindly tried all flights and this continues to be my absolute favorite!This wine leaves a flavor in your mouth that is smooth and oaky with a little zest to it, it becomes addictive, I actually crave this wine =)

I just tried this wine at a local bar/restaurant. It is the exact Chardonnay flavor I have been searching for! I love the oak, butter, and vanilla combination as well as the smooth finish. Thank you!
