2022 J. Lohr October Night Chardonnay
91 Points
“A plump white, with notes of grilled pineapple, ripe peach, crème brûlée and poached pear making a rich, creamy core, backed by accents of wildflower honey and a fresh thread of acidity that give this length, depth and focus.” - Wine Spectator, July 2024
2022 J. Lohr Arroyo Vista Chardonnay
90 Points
“Ripe marmalade and peach pastry flavors are succulent and generous in this version, with tropical overtones mingling with spice accents of clove and cardamom. Ends with a hint of salted caramel on the finish, where the acidity amplifies the flavors.” – Wine Spectator, July 2024
