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
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!

Great Chard for evening quaffing. Slightly oaked with a great finish of fruitiness.

Perfect Balance
We have been drinking more French whites and this compares favorably. Perfectly balanced without being too oaky. We really enjoyed this.

Easy drinking
I always enjoy the chardonnay's from CH - especially from the Napa & Sonoma areas. This one hits every time and is a crowd pleaser. Haven't been able to find something that beats the taste & price. Will order again!

Better Than Expected
Chardonnay is not our household favorite for whites, but this one was well enjoyed by all. Crisp and refreshing, paired for seafood and pasta. Just the right balance and acidity. Good price as well. Will have more of this around for when outside returns this Summer.

Full bodied with good balance
Outstanding Chard; substantially full bodied, but at the same time well balanced with mild acidity. Good character and interesting flavor, with nice finish. Excellent with salmon.

Wife pleaser
I drink reds most of the time, so I have to go on what my wife says about this wine, which is 'get more'. Very good price point and a very solid everyday chard. Can't beat it for the price.

Great Buy
We aren't usually white wine drinkers, but really enjoyed this Chardonnay. Pear on the nose, nice medium body, and long finish. Will probably buy more for the springtime.
