The 2022 Robert Mondavi Vint Private Selection California Chardonnay is made largely from Chardonnay grapes, with a touch of Muscat Canelli in the blend. Alcohol hits 13.5% abv and I got it on sale for $5 at Pavilions Market, down from $12.
This wine has a pale golden-green tint in the glass. The nose throws off some lively apple, pear and citrus notes, while bathing them in a buttery vanilla scent. Fruit is forward on the palate, and the buttery oak is pleasantly present, not overpowering. The mouthfeel is full, while the acidity is fresh. The lush flavors linger on the finish. Pair this wine with seafood or salad, or even with a chicken or pasta dish in a creamy sauce.
