This is our best-selling white wine every year. Barrel fermented in new American oak with full malolactic fermentation, this style of Chardonnay suits the Arroyo Seco sub-appellation of Monterey County to a T. While 2012 was a fantastic comeback for this wine (since frost decimated our chances in 2011), 2013 is even better than 2012, and as good as the vintage that put us on the map with Arroyo Seco: 2009.

Smooth and light.
This chard had a smooth feel and a light taste. If you like a smooth and light chard buy this one you will not go wrong.

The Best Ever
This is the best Chardonnay CH has ever sold. If they ever discontinue Arroyo Seco, I'll start shopping at Ralph's.

Excellent wine, great for summer or anytime!
I always enjoy the CH wines, no matter what what kind! This was a great fruity wine. It complements many foods very well. We have enjoyed CH wines for many years now and we have never had any that we didn't like!

Tropical, buttery Cali Chards are our favorite white wines
Recently introduced to the unique offerings of CH thru a close wine friend.
My wife and I chose to take the Arroyo Seco to our favorite Italian BYOB in South Jersey. We ordered Branzino. This pairing was a home run that enhanced the flavor profiles of both the food & wine.
A fair comparison is to Rombauer Chardonnay with very similar visual and taste characteristics.
Based on this experience, I ordered more Arroyo Seco and added Lot 449 Chard.
So far, CH is proving to be our 'go to' QPR wine buying choice.

Awesome Chardonnay
We took a chance on this wine because we love the Chardonnays from this region and 465 does not disappoint. We just ordered several cases more. One of our favorites form CH.

Great Wine for $15.00
We served this wine at our son's wedding dinner in FL. I really love CH Chardonnay's. I think it has fruit up front and medium oak. Another good one from CH.

Great wine!
I am a fan of oaky, buttery chardonnays. I order Cameron Hughes by the case! This Arroyo Seco is refreshing, crisp, with a hint of oak and butter....Keep up the good work!
