Wine Details
Honeysuckle, citrus oil, and vetiver aromas with sweet vanilla bass notes. The rich, creamy palate texture meshes seamlessly with tropical stone fruit and lemon balm flavors in a wonderfully proportioned wine that lingers. If you are a fan of our Arroyo Seco releases, this unctuous Chard is sure to be a favorite.

Having spent well over a decade sourcing wine throughout California, I am convinced that the foggy, undulating hills of Monterey County represent the nexus of quality and value for California Chardonnay. Warm days and cool maritime nights create a perfect environment for this rich, creamy style of Chardonnay. The vineyard that produced our CAM Collection Chardonnay is impeccably managed by hand, block by block, and has been producing wines receiving 90+ point scores from the industry's biggest wine critics for over a decade. This wine is a testament to our continued efforts to deliver the best product for the best price, period – a fantastic value that we're proud to offer vintage to vintage.

Wonderful wine
My wife is a Chardonnay drinker and is very particular about the brand, ie Rombauer is her favorite. She loved this vintage but was thinking perhaps the taste wasn't consistent. She also drinks your other Chard's and it may be just the difference between them. We will continue to drink all of your wines and have turned others on to them.

Excellent
This is a really good wine and an incredible value at $16. It is just as good as, if not better than Rombauer which retails at double the price. This wine is full body, full favor with a long lingering finish. It is balanced perfectly. While mostly a cabernet drinker, I have been drinking much more white since discovering this wine.

Awesome
My only regret is that I waited so long to try this line. The CAM Chardonnay was done and gone before the others we purchased at the same time. What a treat for the tongue - buttery softness and light floral notes with only passing thoughts of nectarine and peaches. Yummy.

Not for me
I was surprised at how sweet and similar to the Chenin Blanc/Riesling releases this wine is. Not what I was expecting but it won't go to waste - part of the experience!
