Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Chardonnay 2005

The 2005 Robert Mondavi Winery Chardonnay is a fresh, youthful wine, with lively acidity and abundant fruit. Aromas of zesty citrus, green apple and tropical coconut are enhanced by the subtle use of oak. Ripe layers of fruit flavors unfold in the glass, with citrus and green apple leading to pear and pineapple. In the background, smoky oak deepens into crème brulée.

"What’s so nice about this wine is that it has full-throttle Chard personality while keeping everything so balanced that it’s also a versatile food wine. You can’t say that about a lot of Chardonnays. Mainly it’s the acidity, but also the complex, subtle interplay of fruit and oak. A very nice job."
