Charmaine Angela

2004 Red Mountain Chardonnay

The Austin Robaire Charmaine Angela is a stunning example of a vintage Chardonnay from the esteemed Red Mountain region. This white wine presents a brilliant pale gold hue that captures the eye and hints at the richness within. On the nose, you are greeted with delightful aromas of crisp green apple, ripe pear, and a hint of citrus, complemented by underlying notes of buttery toast and vanilla from careful oak aging. The palate is beautifully balanced, showcasing a medium-bodied profile with refreshing acidity that dances on the tongue, providing a mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity is pronounced, allowing for a vibrant expression of the varietal's character, while the wine maintains a dry finish that leaves a lasting impression. A true testament to the quality of Red Mountain's terroir, this Chardonnay offers an elegant and sophisticated drinking experience for any occasion.

Region:


Washington
Washington

With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.
