Scott Peterson Rumpus Reserve California Chardonnay 2019
About the wine
Full-powered, creamy Reserve Chardonnay from your no-holds-barred Sonoma expert
- For lovers of big California Chardonnay turned all the way up, it doesn’t get much bigger than Scott’s Rumpus Reserve. This powerfully ripe white wine hits all the marks – it’s creamy, buttery, oaky, rich and then some.
- With access to his choice of grapes from around California, thanks to your funding, Scott leaned toward the more tropical flavors of coastal fruit, which he called out by specially-aging the wine on its natural yeast lees for eight months.
- Scott then added another round of aging in toasted American and French oak barrels to top this Chardonnay off with a full-powered punch and rich texture.
Best before
No need to age this Chardonnay, it's ready to be enjoyed now. Just chill it down to about 50-55º F and you're good to go.
Serving advice
If you've had it in the refrigerator, give it about 15 minutes to warm up a bit, which will help release its bold aromatics.
Food match
Crab, grilled scallops and creamy pastas are all great pairings with this rich and creamy white wine.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Scott Peterson
Scott spent over 20 years making wine for storied Sonoma wineries like Kendall-Jackson and Buena Vista – as well as Argentina’s Nicolás Catena Family of Wines and Chile’s Axel and La Playa Wines – before Angel support allowed him to march to his own drum.
Scott loves working with Angel funding because you allow him to make the wines he wants to. He's old school, and he doesn't want to make new styles just because they’re trendy.
If you like gloriously decadent, no-holds-barred wines, buy everything Scott makes. You will not regret it.
