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.

A favorite Chardonnay!
This is not the first time I've ordered the Arroyo Seco Chardonnay. It's a crisp,slightly oakey. fresh tasting Chard. Consistently pleasing. I'll order it again.

Excellent Chardonnay
I thoroughly enjoy this wine. I have had other whites from CH, as well as local wine shops, but this Chardonnay is the one I prefer to all the others. Easy to drink on a hot day, or even a cool evening. Great with cheddar, a slice of apple and a hunk sourdough bread. Goes well with grilled salmon and grilled eggplant also. Gotta order more soon.

A favorite Chardonnay!
I've bought earlier vintages of this Arroyo Seco Chard. Always sorry I didn't order more. This time I ordered six and am planning to order a case before it's gone. Simply a well balanced Chardonnay, and priced well to boot. One of my favorites in this price range.
