2022 Reata Jamieson Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay

Jamieson Ranch Vineyards in Nappa Valley (USA) is more than just a producer of great wines. Their "Light Horse" label is a metaphor for a unique program at the winery that provides animal-assisted therapy for wine lovers, war veterans and children with disabilities. So making great wines and being involved in the community go hand in hand.

The REATA SONOMA COAST CHARDONNAY is a very lively Chardonnay and comes from one of the most beautiful areas of California for Chardonnays, namely Sonoma County. The name Reata comes from the Spanish word for 'lasso'. Hand-woven and buried in the earth to become strong. Just like this beautiful Chardonnay. Hand-picked from only the best grapes coming from a great terroir and climate wine after which this wine has been aged for 7 months on French oak. The Reata Sonoma Chardonnay is a warm buttery wine with a beautiful freshness as a result of the cool sea breeze from the great ocean. It has toasty aromas followed by pear, apple with cinnamon and cloves. In the mouth there is a clear fruitiness, followed by rich, savory flavors of almonds and vanilla. Fresh and dry with a very long persistent finish. This is a wine for lovers of a full chardonnay with butterscotch.

Very nice with melon and prosciutto, light salads, light pasta and rice dishes, pizza and shellfish, grilled fish or grilled chicken.
