Wine Details
Right out of the bottle the nose is filled with vanilla, pears, candied lemon, and toasty oak. The entry is defined immediately by balanced acidity and great weight - not overly viscous but not too lean, either. Uplifted by citrus blossoms, apples, and pears, the palate is followed by a long finish that's framed by fresh butter, riding a mouthwatering sensation that goes on, and on, and on. Fantastic juice.

Cam Confidential
Always in the conversation when it comes to America’s preeminent winegrowing regions, the Russian River Valley is familiar to wine aficionados worldwide for producing some of the best grapes in the country. Cool ocean breezes and fog come in abundance from the nearby Pacific, helping the fruit develop exceptional flavor maturity. Anchored by a rare type of soil formed by an ancient sandstone seabed, there’s just no place quite like it.
Lot 718 comes to us from one of the most storied names in the region, produced by an estate with almost a century of family history working the local soils. Meticulously farmed, harvested in the cool of night, and crafted by winemaking talent whose career tour of duty includes iconic vineyards in both Napa and Sonoma, this is a classic Russian River Valley Chard. Available here for less than half its original tasting room price!

Excellent value for high quality
More complex, richer than I expected. Just a little oak, which is what we prefer. Big step up for just a little more cost.

I love this.
Full, complexity. Slight flavors of oak, some lemon, some pear, some WOW!
Bought it because I’ve always loved Russian River Chardonnay, and this did not disappoint.

Balanced Chardonnay
This Chardonnay was a balanced wine with a moderate mouthfeel. Has a good nose with apple and floral notes. Light caramel and oak on the palate.

Bang for the Buck
Russian River Chards never fail to please. Nice balance and not too heavy on the oak.

Fabulous Chardonnay
This Chardonnay is so smooth and refreshing and easy to drink. I only bought one bottle in my last case and that was a mistake!
