Chardonnay from Santa Maria Valley, California: Cambria Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay 2007


Our 2007 Katherine's Chardonnay shows the concentration and character of this superb vintage. The nose is deeply aromatic with apples, peaches, lime blossoms and vanilla. The palate is intense and powerful, yet surprisingly elegant and nuanced.

Attractive bronze hue. Pretty scents of toasted bread and grain with a whiff of wet stone. Well-balanced entry of sweet/sour citrus with flint undertones. Crisp close with light oak and mineral nuances.
