The J. Lohr Riverstone Chardonnay exhibits youthful hues of light straw. The enticing aromas are reminiscent of ripe orange, fresh nectarine, and hazelnut, which are complemented by the palate flavors of apricot, ripe peach, and honey. The rich texture and balance on the palate from aging sur lie gives way to flavors of vanilla, citrus cream, and a hint of oak on the long finish.
J. Lohr Winery was founded in 1974 by Jerry Lohr, who pioneered winegrowing on California’s Central Coast, first in Monterey’s Arroyo Seco and later in Paso Robles. Today, it is one of the largest family-owned wineries in the U.S., with over 4,000 acres of vineyards and a reputation for sustainable, estate-grown wines.
