FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OF 24 BOTTLES OR MORE* Dear Friends, Lesson learned: Never underestimate the love for buttery, oaky Arroyo Seco Chardonnay by our fans. This program has been the best-selling white wine series we’ve ever produced, but I never anticipated Lot 402 selling out as quickly as it did when we released it last August. I should have known better – 2012 is the best vintage California has seen in years, and the quality was obvious, because repeat buyer numbers for this Lot were huge! Fortunately for you online shoppers, we were able to keep just under 300 cases of Lot 412 2012 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay (made by the same producer) intended for a retailer, and I present it to you today! After sourcing wines all over California for over a decade, I can say with confidence that the intersection of quality and value for Chardonnay lies in Monterey County. The high winds, dry days, and ocean fog generated by its close proximity to the Pacific creates a very long growing season that’s perfect for Chardonnay, and the late harvest provides the grapes with an extra month of hang time that results in wines lush with tropical flavors and refreshing acidity. Barrel fermented in brand new American oak barrels, Lot 412 is a mouthwatering bottle of wine that embodies the best of Central Coast Chardonnay. Lot 412 2012 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay Vintage: 2012 Appellation: Arroyo Seco, Monterey County Grape: Chardonnay Alcohol by volume: 13.8% Cost: $15 Opens with vanilla, white flower, and honeycomb aromas. On the palate, it’s obvious very quickly that the wine is made in a lush, buttery, rich style. Not overly sweet, with good acidity and structure, and a long finish that just keeps going and going. Creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. As a New Release special offer, go ahead and take 15% off any purchase of one case or more through Thursday night at midnight (Wine Club members get 20% off) as long as the order includes one bottle of Lot 412 (mix and match the whole store!).
