Sipping Fine Wine

Founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer and sits on a tree covered knoll overlooking the Napa Valley, with caves that extend for over a mile. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruit, sweet oak, spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, melon and apple, with vanilla spice, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with mineral notes.

Medium gold in color; yellow apple, butter, and vanilla on the nose; medium acidity; tastes like lemon zest, apricot, chalk with a long finish. Nellie liked it. I did not.
