J. Lohr’s Arroyo Vista Chardonnay is produced frompioneering vineyards in Monterey’s Arroyo Seco. Wine maker Kristen Barnhisel desribes the wine: 'Pale yellow in color, the 2020 Arroyo Vista Chardonnay exhibits intriguing aromas of paperwhites, Meyer lemon, ripe apple, white peach, brioche, and crème brûlée. The rich palate texture is derived from the use of classic Burgundian techniques, such as primary and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels and weekly stirring of the lees during aging.'
