Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros Napa Valley 2024 375ml Half Bottle
Rombauer Vineyards is the definitive name in California Chardonnay — the wine that set the standard for the rich, lush, butter-and-vanilla California style that the world has been chasing ever since. Founded by Koerner Rombauer in 1980 in the Napa Valley, Rombauer draws fruit for their flagship Chardonnay from Carneros — the cool, fog-influenced appellation at the southern end of Napa and Sonoma where cold San Pablo Bay air tempers the afternoon heat and allows Chardonnay to ripen slowly and beautifully, developing extraordinary fruit complexity while retaining the bright acidity that holds everything together.
The 2024 Carneros Chardonnay is quintessential Rombauer — ripe peach, melon, and citrus on the nose, a creamy vanilla midpalate, and a signature buttery finish underpinned by bright, refreshing acidity. This 375ml half bottle delivers the full Rombauer experience in a perfectly sized format for two generous pours or a solo indulgence.
"Lush, ripe, and relaxed — a classic with generous poached pear and peach pie flavors, creamy vanilla, and bright acidity tying it all together."

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintage 2023
Jonathan Cristaldi of Decanter Magazine writes 93 Points | This wine impresses with its richness, creamy vanilla, and buttery brioche notes on the nose—never over the top—building into a fleshy, layered palate balanced by excellent acidity, with a pH of around 3.4 and 6.2 TA. Candied ginger peel, rich citrus, and tangerine peel lead into baked pineapple notes on a very long, saline-mineral finish—a true crowd-pleaser, perfect with roast chicken and potatoes or roast pork. The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from Napa and Sonoma Carneros. Barrel-fermented and aged for nine months in a mix of American and French oak, one-third of which is new. Oklahoma-born and raised, Andrew Holloway began his winemaking journey as an intern at Rombauer in 2010. His talent and dedication saw him rise to assistant winemaker in 2014, and in 2023, he was named winemaker.
Jim Gordon of JamesSuckling.com writes 91 Points | This is a lush, ripe, relaxed classic with generous poached pear and peach pie flavors. Full-bodied, rich in fruit and spice flavors, with butter and caramel accents. All barrel fermented, with hand-stirred lees and full malolactic. Reasonable acidity and a super-relaxed texture.
