J. Lohr Description
The 2018 Riverstone Chardonnay exhibits youthful hues of light straw. The enticing aromas are reminiscent of white peach, apricot, ripe orange, and cocoa, and complemented by the palate flavors of citrus cream and nectarine. The rich texture and balance on the palate from aging sur lie gives way to flavors of vanilla, crème brûlée, and a touch of oak can be found on the long finish. - Kristen Barnhisel, winemaker, white wine
Food Pairings:
This wine can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes, including Dijon tarragon chicken, roasted halibut, or moules marinière.

Editor's Choice
Always one of the better priced Chardonnays on the market, this bottling offers pinpoint aromas of lemon juice, toast, apple and a tight white-rock minerality on the nose. Seared lemon and roasted apple flavors are enhanced by lime-skin and struck stone flavors on the sip. Matt Kettmann
