A lovely, perfumed nose opens with baked apples and white flowers. Apple and pear lead on the palate, with florals, minerality, and lively tropical fruit on the mid-palate and finish. Clean, crisp, and refreshing, this would pair beautifully with fried fresh-water catfish. Highly Recommended. 90 points. DBH WHO: Wente WHAT:

Green apple, pineapple, and lemon zest are followed with softer guava and mango. Lemon zest lingers on the finish. Drink with poached sole. Highly Recommended. 91

Aromas of baking apple tart and vanilla roll up from the glass. Buttery apple pastry with cinnamon and nutmeg come through on the palate, rich, round, and soft. Drink with blackened grouper with plenty of kick. Highly Recommended. 90 points. DBH WHO: Wente WHAT: Chardonnay WHEN: 2015 DESIGNATION: Riva Ranch
