Arroyo Seco is located on the eastern flank of the Santa Lucia Mountains overlooking the broad Salinas Valley of California’s Monterey County. The vineyards rest on gravelly terraces and the windy nature of the site results in a long growing season. The J. Lohr 2021 Flume Crossing Sauvignon Blanc is a fine example of the area’s potential. It shows a wonderful combination of lemon, grapefruit and green apple fruit scents are followed by hints of lily and fresh herbs. The flavors of mouthwatering citrus and green apple fruits are backed by subtle floral and herbal hints. The wine is refreshing, pure and bright and is a great match for fresh seafood dishes.
