J. Lohr 2013 Arroyo Vista Chardonnay (Arroyo Seco)

Country: US / Arroyo Vista
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: J. Lohr / Arroyo Seco

A faint smoky character wafts through warm, inviting aromas of lemon peels, nectarine and sea salt on the nose of this wine from Monterey County. There is a lot of energetic acidity on the palate, where even flavors of apple and pear are cut by lemon-lime briskness and a briny character.
