2013 J. Lohr Estates Riverstone Chardonnay
The 2012 J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon is red-purple in color with a bright hue at release. Fruit aromas are black cherry, plum and blueberry accented with a barrel bouquet of toasted pastry, dark caramel and vanilla. Sturdy tannins strike the palate and finish with the high-toned fruit signature typical of the Paso Robles appellation.
Cedrus Le Blanc is made about 60 miles away from Cahors in the Armagnac region. This area and its grapes are the source of the finest brandy in France, but there’s also a little ‘country wine’ made under the Cotes de Gascogne appellation. If you like Loire Sauvignon Blanc, you will love this crisp 60/40 blend of Colombard and Ugni Blanc. The nose presents superb aromatics of exotic fruits and white flowers. Served chilled, its fine texture and clear fresh fruit character will combine beautifully with seafood or just by itself.
Produced and bottled in Arkansas City, Kansas with grapes from the Suisun Valley. The Suisun Valley AVA is an American Viticultural Area in Solano County, California, located just east of the Napa Valley wine region in the Coast Range. It has touches of spice, generous fruit and perfectly integratd oak flavor and aroma from twenty four months in new French oak barrels.
