J. Lohr Riverstone Chardonnay 2000
Chardonnay
from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
The 2000 Riverstone Chardonnay is straw yellow in color. The Arroyo Seco appellation terroir-based aromas of lime and grapefruit zest, nectarine, green apricots and wet stones are complemented by a smoky, butter, vanilla and toasted oak bouquet from the barrel fermentation and sur lie aging. The flavors echo the aromas with citrus, stone fruits, butter, and smoky, toasty oak, producing layers of complexity with an excellent balance of acidity and palate weight making it ideal for pairing with richly textured fish and shellfish or cream sauced pasta dishes.
Alcohol: 13.9% by volume
