Cambria's Chardonnay has been a constant favorite with consumers across the country. It is an enticing wine with great depth and range of flavors, remarkable balance, and savory finish. Sourced from the Katherine's Vineyard in Santa Maria Valley, Cambria has carved out a reputation for producing lush, tropical, yet refreshing Chardonnay for 20 years. Plus, we love the fact that Cambria is woman-owned and woman-led!
In the same AVA as some other famous single vineyards, such as Bien Nacido and Sierra Madre, Cambria is in a plot of land that is heavily influenced by the ocean, from the cooling winds to their marine sediment soils. In addition, Cambria is also SIP Certified (Sustainability in Practice), which means that everything they do in the vineyard and winery is done with the intention of having as little negative impact on the land as possible.
Whether you're looking for your next favorite Chardonnay for your house, or in need of an impressive wine that doesn't break the bank for your next gathering, this Chardonnay should most definitely be on your list!
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 92 POINTS - "The 2023 Chardonnay Katherine's Vineyard is rich yet energized, driven by taut minerality and juicy acidity. Barrel spice and ripe orchard fruit marry in harmony, with serious complexity, deep minerality and impressive finesse, especially for the price."
Fresh fruit and floral aromas dominate the nose and palate: white peach, lemon zest, pear, Granny Smith apple, and citrus blossoms. The oak influence creates a nice mid-palate that balances with the bright acidity that lingers.
