Cam Confidential
Lot 706 comes to us from one of the most legendary names in the history of Napa Valley Chardonnay – rabid enthusiasts and casual fans alike are all familiar with the contributions and legacy of the man behind the source winery’s label. Entirely produced from estate fruit grown in certified organic vineyards, this wine is literally what many would consider the benchmark expression of Chardonnay in Napa Valley – a classically styled, barrel fermented, gorgeous wine that delivers all the texture and elegance you’d expect from a hall of fame producer.
First-class Chardonnay from an iconic winery, and easily the best deal on Napa Valley Chardonnay in the country.

Smooth
Buttery mouth feel, great flavors all around everyday wine to keep in stock. Went very well with grilled tuna steak.

Very pleasant. Tropical fruits and vanilla. Nice finish.
I rated this wine a good value, but it might be better than that. I don't have sufficient wine experience to know. I enjoyed this wine, though it did not knock me out. It has moderate body and acidity. I thought it was redolent of tropical fruits and a bit of vanilla. It had a long finish, a bit tart--pleasantly so--, especially on the side of the tongue and the back of the throat.

More Citrus than Oak
Of the three chards we ordered in December this one tasted the most of citrus. Ran out quickly.

Excellent Medium Bodied Chard
This is the kind of Chard I like with food. Not overly oaked. However, not as dry as a more French style Chard.

Our go-to Chard, until it isn't :-(
My wife keeps asking for this when white is appropriate for dinner. "Oh you mean the Lot 706? You bet!" Nice citrus flavors but not fruity. Balanced well with just the right amount of oak, pear and a little butter. Perfect, until it's all gone. CH, tell us when you have another one like it!

Nice Balance
I am generally drawn to the big oaky buttery Chardonnays rather than the austere French style. This wine is not big, but it has a lovely balance without being overwhelming. Love the way it lingers on the tongue. Well done!

Well Balanced Chardonnay
Everything one can hope for in an elegant chardonnay. From the first to the last sip, this wine is very clean and consistent
