Natalie's Score: 88/100

J. Lohr Arroyo Vista 2016 is a creamy, full-bodied and dry Chardonnay from the Arroyo Seco area in Monterey County. On the palate, there is butterscotch, creme brulee, caramel, sweet coconut and toffee from very generous oak aging. The Chardonnay grapes from J. Lohr's Arroyo Vista label are grown on vines planted in gravelly soils in the cool, windy appellation of Monterrey County and hand-harvested at night. The wine is both barrel fermented and aged in oak.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, creamy pasta sauce dishes, grilled fish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
