J. Lohr ‘Riverstone’ Chardonnay 2010 (California)
The J. Lohr ‘Riverstone’ Chardonnay is “…a full-bodied Chardonnay with a balance of fruit and oak toastiness and a palate-cleansing acidity.” (website)
Winemaker’s Comments: This elegant Chardonnay has an attractive pale strawyellow color. The aromas are of pear, apple and stone fruits, combined with a perfumed roasted hazelnut and butterscotch bouquet from the barrel fermentation and sur lie aging. The flavors are very soft with ripe pear, tangelo citrus and vanilla toastiness, producing layers of complexity with a silky balance of fresh fruit acidity and palate-weight. —Jeff Meier, winemaker
Food Pairings: This wine is excellent with roasted chicken, linguine with clam sauce and Dungeness crab.
This wine will be in stock on Friday April 27. (sorry to get your hopes up too early)
