Very SB-y. Pale, barely tinged yellow. Clear. Citrusy and grassy nose. Ripe and tropical, with zippy acidity to finish. Medium
Weight.

Medium yellow color. A hint of lanolin and white peach nose. Honeydew melon and white tea flavors. Soft and fat. Barely any acidity. A little oily with slightly bitter almond to finish.

Medium cherry red. Bacon and bright red fruit fruit aromas. Tart acid on entry, moderate tannic grip, bright red fruit flavors. Quite nice.

Dark purple-red. Vanilla bomb nose. Hot. Sweet and viscous in the mouth, with background baking spice.

Editorial: Definitely the house style if you know Rombauer's Chardonnay. It has its fans and place, but just doesn't appeal to me. I originally scored this 80, but removed the score because the wine tastes exactly like the winemaker and Rombauer's customers want it to taste. Not my thing, but it may be yours and there's no harm in that!

Highly extracted purple. Opaque. Cassis, lead pencil. Medium weight, high acid, minimal tannin, medium weight. Balanced. Roasted tomato, olive, vanilla and chocolate. This is tasty and direct, and pretty much satisfies while honoring the Wente name and heritage.
