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.

The Libra of Chardonnay
Such a well balanced chard and the exact buttery finish I always look for. I even bought 2 cases to serve at my bosses retirement party, it's that good!

Buttery
Delicious creamy Chardonnay, soft on the pallet and it coats your mouth with lasting fruit. We drank this bottle with homemade lobster rolls and it was a buttery delight.

A smooth, balanced Chardonnay!
A complex Chardonnay with buttery notes, but not overdone. Just enough oak. An excellent daily drinker at an excellent price.

A Favorite on Our Yacht
Ordering more! The 655 won over some of our most discerning guests. Broke out some of our favorite French cheese and grapes and voila! _- que la fête commence! One can tell that the barrels are recent. If I could make a cookie out of this, it would have hints of lemon, honey and lots of butter. Our captain (while we were overnighting at the slip) enjoyed so much that he asked if we could stay another day just to enjoy the 655 - but he was kidding as we had more islands to hit). Highly recommend for the quality and price. Anchors Away!!! :)

Our go-to Chardonnay
This wine is always good in the rich buttery style, but not overly so. It’s hard to find this quality at the price. We like to always have some on hand for any occasion.

Great Chardonnay for the price
655 Chardonnay is by far our favorite Chardonnay. Excellent value. Very Drinkable with or without food.

Solid, Complex
Aroma has buttery notes, some honey and almond character, lemon curd. Flavor is very much the same, with some oak character to balance. The acidity gives it a bright finish. I don't particularly care for buttery chards, but the butter note here is an undertone....I absolutely love that lemon curd note, and the bright finish makes this one I'd get again.
