2023 J.Lohr Vineyards Riverstone Chardonnay Arroyo Seco

"Unapologetically old-school Chardonnay" Richard Hemming - jancisrobinson.com

A classic California Chardonnay from Monterey's Arroyo Seco appellation, showcasing the rich, full-bodied style that made Californian Chardonnay famous. Estate-grown fruit, partial malolactic fermentation and nine months of oak ageing create a wine that is generous, textured and beautifully balanced.

Tasting Notes:
Ripe pineapple, melon and peach aromas lead into a creamy palate layered with butter, sweetcorn, vanilla and baking spice. Full-bodied and smooth with well-integrated oak, refreshing acidity and a long, rich finish. An indulgent yet balanced Chardonnay that delivers authentic old-school Californian charm.
