| Description: | This expressive Riverstone Chardonnay has light golden hues with a tint of youthful green. Aromas of ripe comice pear, melon, meyer lemon and brioche coalesce with notes of roasted hazelnut, flint, spice and toasty oak. Flavors of pom fruits, mineral and sabayon end with a lingering toasty oak finish. Barrel fermentation with sur-lie aging adds layers of creamy palate weight, depth and aromatic complexity. The Arroyo Seco's cool climate and long growing season help maintain a natural acidity that brings this wine's rich palate into balance. Technical notes The vines for our J. Lohr Estates Riverstone Chardonnay are grown primarily on Elder loam soils underlain by "riverstones" deposited over thousands of years by the Arroyo Seco River. These stones limit soil depth from one to four feet, although roots are found at greater depths. This unique combination of sandy loam and cobblestone soil keeps the vines' vegetative growth and fruit in balance, while the cool climate and winds of the Salinas Valley extend the growing season - retaining the natural grape acids and intense varietal character of Chardonnay. Producer J. Lohr was founded four decades ago by Jerry Lohr. Still family-owned and operated today, J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines sustainably farms 4,000 acres of estate vineyards in Paso Robles, Monterey County's Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands appellations, and St. Helena in the Napa Valley. The company's dedication to its pillars of "Family, Place, and Craft" is evidenced by its vintage-to-vintage track record of quality, innovation, and category leadership. J. Lohr crafts five tiers of award-winning wines showcasing its estate fruit: J. Lohr Estates, J. Lohr Vineyard Series, J. Lohr Cuvee Series, J. Lohr Gesture, and J. Lohr Signature Cabernet Sauvignon. |
