Butter, oak and vanilla flavors dominate the aroma and flavor of this full-bodied, heavily oaked wine. It has a dessert-like quality that is honeyed on the palate and lingers sweetly on the finish. For fans of this bold style, it's a big win.

There are more than a quarter-million cases of Rombauer's 2022 Chardonnay, which boasts classic buttered movie-popcorn scents, bold peach notes and cinnamon-laced nuances. Aged in a mix of French and American oak (30% new), it's full-bodied, soft and approachable, with just a hint of warmth on the finish.
