2019 | J. Lohr Vineyards and Winery | Arroyo Vista Chardonnay

Light straw in color, this 2019 Arroyo Vista Chardonnay exhibits intriguing aromas of Meyer lemon cream, yellow flowers, baked pear, crème brûlée, and toasted hazelnuts. 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. The texture is balanced by fresh flavors of apple, pear, and citrus, with a long, sweet oak finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Clean and focused on the nose, this bottling begins with tightly wound aromas of chalk and lemon rind, with delicate citrus blossom, apricot and pulverized sea-shell touches also arising. The palate is a bit more generous, with apricot glaze and white-blossom flavors, but that enveloping sea-shell component clings into the finish.
