2003 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay
Subtotal: $0.00
About This Wine:
Our Chardonnay is created entirely of the magnificent fruit from our cobblestone-laden family vineyard in the middle of Monterey County.
This elegant 2003 vintage was crafted with the philosophy of not interfering with the true characteristics of the varietal. Our intention was to produce a Chardonnay with bright fruit and balanced character without being overwhelmed by oak.
The result is a crisp, and refined wine, reminiscent of the cool-climate Chardonnays of Northern Burgundy.
