This wine is voluptuously constructed with sweet stone fruit and butterscotch aromas. Dense apricot and quince notes are tightly plaited in a sinuous and lovely package. Magnificent.

Lot 350 Santa Maria Chardonnay is a rip-snorting good bottle/cask of wine made for us by a legendary vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley. The same vineyard, in fact that produced Lot 341 Syrah for us. Prices for these wines range from about $25 and up. 40% new French oak.
You may have seen CHW in your local Costco. What makes it unique is that Cam and Jess do not own or even operate a winery; instead, they curate wine from high-end wineries all over the world – from sourcing grapes all the way to bottling the wine – managing the wine-making process and resulting in palate-pleasing wine for a fraction of the cost – think Gilt Groupe for wine.
Fruity, light oak, can't imagine anything better at this price point.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Popped a bottle of this at the end of a long day cleaning up the house. Smooth, light, bit of citrus, super easy to drink. Refreshing end to a stressful day!
