The 2020 version of Rombauer’s well-known chardonnay has arrived. We overview it right here alongside a brand new zinfandel launch.

2020 Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros – One in every of California’s most iconic chardonnays is famend for its oakiness, and with this 2020 expression the popularity initially feels earned. Brilliant apple notes are paired with coconut and a few sesame oil on a creamy physique, with ample vanilla displaying on the end. That mentioned, with some airtime in glass and a little bit of warming up, the wine tempers properly, letting its oaky qualities mellow out. A- / $40

2019 Rombauer Zinfandel California – Extraordinarily dense and extracted, this zinfandel feels prefer it’s been effervescent round in an oak vat for years. The outcomes are much more highly effective than you’d count on, a flood of blackberry jam, pureed raisins, and chocolate sauce turning out an virtually syrupy completed product. It’s as candy as any Port I’ve tried; save this one for dessert. B- / $38
