Juicy and complex, the 2012 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay offers a generous nose filled with Key lime, baking spice, peach blossom and caramel, while the expansive palate introduces layers of cantaloupe, tropical fruit and marzipan, underscored with the distinct impression of wet river stone. The broad mid-palate texture is balanced 2012 by the vibrant citrus character and natural acidity.

92 Point Review - Robert Parker …emphasizes the tropical fruit spectrum…from pineapple to mango to lychee-like notes. Ripe, medium to full-bodied and fleshy with terrific purity…

90 Point Review - Wine Enthusiast Made in a drier, tarter style than the winery’s Russian River bottling, this Chard favors elegance over opulence. It’s streamlined and crisp, with subtle notes of green apples, kumquats and honey, gently touched by smoky oak.
