In 1972, when Koerner and Joan Rombauer moved their two children, two horses and five dogs to Napa Valley, they were already well acquainted with the natural relationship between food and wine. Koerner’s great aunt Irma Rombauer wrote the internationally renowned cookbook, The Joy of Cooking, and his German ancestors had deep roots in the winegrowing region of Rheingau. Koerner and Joan established Rombauer Vineyards in 1980, and in 1984 they released their first California-style Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Four decades later–and still family owned–the winery has become widely acclaimed for its wines. They continue to craft expressive wines and are committed to sustainable farming and are Napa Green Winery Certified.
Tasting Notes
Lifted and concentrated aromas of passion fruit, green melon, and hints of fresh-cut grass all dance on the nose. The palate is linear and intense, with similar flavors that are joined by notes of kiwi and Key lime. Each sip is framed with mouthwatering acidity and a burst of grapefruit that lifts the long finish. Food pairing suggestions include fish tacos, Nicoise salad or a zucchini and goat cheese tart.
Method
Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from 73% Sonoma County and 27% Napa County. 89% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks, 9% in neutral French oak barrels and 2% in concrete tanks.
