Wine Details
Launches with a lovely nose of lemon curd, stone fruit, and banana peel, turning more nuanced and pretty with lemon blossom and orange creamsicle. Brisk entry is layered with ripe tropical and citrus fruit riding a vanilla-tinged, honeyed beam of acidity trademark to this style of Arroyo Seco Chardonnay. Finishes crisp and long with banana notes echoing throughout. A fantastic wine from a terrific vintage in Monterey.

Our Chardonnay releases from Arroyo Seco have been the #1 best selling white wine in our store each year we've been able to offer them, and for good reason - Monterey County tends to deliver at the perfect intersection of quality and value.
A cool climate region located southeast of Monterey Bay with direct exposure to the Pacific Ocean, Arroyo Seco is one of California's smallest AVAs. The foggy and windy nature of the area, combined with low annual rainfall due to the rain shadow created by the Santa Lucia Mountains to the west, make it a perfect setting for Chardonnay grapes. Made in a rich, buttery, oaky, and tropical style, Lot 655 is aged in 70% new American oak barrels and is a delicious go-to wine for any and every occasion.

Easy Drinking White
My husband and I are typically red drinkers, but we wanted to experiment with some whites to broaden our horizons. This chardonnay was nice and crisp, and had a great flavor!

Great for the Price
My wife and I love the heavy oak flavor of the Arroyo Seco chardonnay. We have been purchasers of this wine for several years.

Very pleasant wine
A really nice "go to" wine in my house. My wife and I enjoy this year 'round. From sitting on the deck in the summer to a stormy winter evening, this wine covers us for all occasions.

Amazing favorite!
I buy the Arroyo Seco chardonnay(s) every year - this one is fantastic. I love the butterscotch and roasted pineapple notes - sweet and buttery but crisp. A dreamy chardonnay for a great price!

Golden Child
I liked this chardonnay. Definitely a heavier, oakier and slightly sweeter style than some others that I've gotten from Cameron Hughes, that would be thoroughly enjoyed by people who like that style (like me)! It tasted like a traditional California Chardonnay to enjoy with a variety of foods or by itself.

One of my wife's favorite Chardonnay wines
I prefer bold red wines and my wife loves Chardonnay and really likes this one- so obviously I will be ordering more.
