Arroyo Vista

Arroyo Seco Chardonnay

The J. Lohr Arroyo Vista Chardonnay from the renowned Arroyo Seco region is a captivating expression of this classic varietal. This full-bodied white wine graces the palate with a beautifully balanced interplay of rich and creamy textures, heightened by its lively and refreshing acidity that leaves a mouthwatering sensation. Its fruit intensity is impressively high, dominated by vibrant notes of ripe apple, pear, and tropical fruit, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla and butter from careful oak aging. The delightful finish lingers with a harmonious blend of fruit and delicate minerality, making this Chardonnay a versatile and food-friendly option for a wide array of dishes. The Arroyo Seco AVA, with its cool climate and well-drained soils, truly shines through in this elegantly crafted wine, showcasing the region's prowess in producing top-tier Chardonnays.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
