2006 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay
Cobblestone's 2006 Arroyo Seco Chardonnay is made entirely from the fruit of our cobblestone-laden family vineyard in the Arroyo Seco appellation of central Monterey County.
The 2006 vintage marks the debut of our second Chardonnay clone, the French ENTAV 809. At nine percent of the blend, this uncommon clone delivers some bright fruit and complexity, further supporting our Old World, well-balanced style.

Toasted coconut, popcorn and pineapple waft from your glass. The zippy palate adds tangerine and clean minerality. A range of citrus continues through a long, dry finish alongside spice and oak tannin. The structure and balance make for an elegant and extremely versatile food-pairing wine.
