Wine Review: This vibrant Chardonnay from California’s Central Coast is a very pale straw color, and displays aromas of gardenias, lime zest, nectarine, and Galia melon. Upon entry, I found a slightly creamy mouthfeel that is medium-plus bodied with medium-plus acidity. It is also balanced, fresh, elegant, and easy drinking. The flavors include nectarine, Bartlett pear, lemongrass, and wet stone with notes of melon and mandarin orange. The finish is clean and refreshing. Serve lightly chilled with citrus marinated grilled halibut. - Mark
Winemaker Notes: This second vintage of our J. Lohr Estates “Paperwhite Unoaked” Chardonnay. It continues to spotlight a lighter, more fruit-forward style of Chardonnay. Our lightly colored 2024 “Paperwhite Unoaked” Chardonnay reveals varietal aromas of white flower, lemon citrus zest, and hazelnut along with a fresh, crisp palate and fruit-saturated finish. Paperwhite displays ripe, focused Chardonnay fruit character that is perfect for sipping solo or pairing to a wide range of lighter fare such as sea bass with spring vegetables or fresh shellfish.
