2022 Cambria Katherines Vineyard Chardonnay




New vintage scores Big!!
2022 Cambria Katherines Vineyard Chardonnay...$16.99
Aromas of honey drizzled on ripe honeydew melon invite the nose into this comfortingly classic style of California Chardonnay. Toasted hazelnut and apple pie flavors on the palate are balanced by brisk lemon, cinnamon and star anise spices
Rated 92/100 The Wine Enthusiast
Always a great value, the 2022 Chardonnay Katherine's Vineyard is light gold-hued with classy notes of ripe stone fruits, flower oil, toasted bread, and honeyed orange-like nuances. With medium-bodied richness, a round, lush mouthfeel, beautifully integrated oak, and a great finish, it tastes like it costs two to three times its price. Drink bottles over the coming 3-4 years. Talk about a serious house white.

2022 Cambria Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard....$21.99
Rounded cranberry and cherry aromas pick up rustic notes of chaparral and charred meat on the nose of this bottling, which is widely available and fairly priced. The palate is packed with toasted sage and marjoram flavors that enliven the blood orange and pomegranate core.
Rated 92/100 The Wine Enthusiast
The value-priced 2022 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard comes from a site in the Santa Maria Valley and was brought up in 22% new French oak. Its translucent ruby hue is followed impressive notes of ripe cherry and strawberry fruits supported by pretty spice, flora, and leafy herb-like aromas and flavors. A wine that would hand many a Village Burgundy its ass, it's well worth buying and drinking over the coming 3-5 years.
