Chalone 2006 Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco The Wente and Dijon clones, favored by the winemaker, give this wine luscious pear and tropical fruit flavors. The cool fog that hangs over the Chardonnay vineyards in the Arroyo Seco sub-appellation at the eastern end of Monterey County, closest to the Pacific, lends a thread of crisp acidity that is balanced by a soft lingering mouthfeel. |
