Lot 461 | 2013 Monterey County

I really enjoyed this wine and the price was right.

This wine is a perfect balance of pear/peachy fruit and citrus. It is clean tasting yet satisfying. Along with Lot 444 and 524 I used this wine at a large celebration gathering for our 50th wedding anniversary. It was a big hit with the guests.

I'm a red drinker, but keep Chardonnay on hand for guests and an occasional mood for white. The price is right so thought I'd give it a try. Excellent! There will be another order!

I stopped trying new Chardonnays for many years- I am not a fan of the overly oaky trend which lasted the last few decades. This one, however, is lovely. It's well structured with pineapple, honey and vanilla with a smooth, slightly buttery finish. It has depth and viscosity shown by it's noticeable legs. I'll be drinking it until it's sold out.

It is a great chardonnay, and it goes well with lot of lighter meals as well as just having a nice glass of wine bt itself. Hopefully there is more inventory to order.

Not as good as Cam's chard but cheaper.

WE love this wine. Not too dry. Not to sweet. We are a fan of Monterey County Chards and this lives up to our high expectations.

I recently had some friends over and was telling them all about my experiences w Cameron Hughes wines. (Not a loser in the bunch!) We tried this 461 Chard so that I could prove my point. Everyone was thrilled and said it reminded them of a favorite $18 bottle that they purchase all the time. I converted a few that night:)

I am not an expert at wine reviewing. So, as I said...I am just a simple housewife from Tennessee who loves this wine and love to drink it. Do not know oaky, buttery, dry....whatever.....just know I LOVE it.

Lot 461 has now become our house wine replacing sold out 443. Lot 461 is a classic bold chardonnay-great value and has a nice flinty mineral aspect along with a nice hint of oak. We will keep ordering it!
