J Lohr Est Chardonnay Riverstone (Arroyo Seco) 21

The J. Lohr 2016 Riverstone Chardonnay exhibits youthful hues of light to medium straw. The enticing aromas are reminiscent of ripe orange, fresh nectarine, hazelnut, peaches, tangerine, yellow floral, baking spices, vanilla, and cocoa. These aromas echo on the palate with flavors of apricot, ripe peach, honey, fresh orange, and balanced creamy texture from aging sur lie. The rich texture and balance on the palate give way to flavors of vanilla, citrus cream, creme brulee, and a hint of oak on the long finish.
