Wine Review: This light-yellow colored Chardonnay from Cambria opens with a light oak, pineapple, and pear bouquet. On the palate, this while is medium bodied with nice light acidity. The mouthfeel is round and pleasant. The flavor profile is similar to the nose. It features light oak, vanilla, and pear blend with notes of green apple skin. There is also a little almond, chamomile tea, and ginger mixed in. The finish fades away nicely. This easy to drink Chard will certainly be a crowd pleaser. It will not last long. I would pair this food friendly Chard with a garlic and herb butter roasted chicken. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Fresh fruit and floral aromas dominate the nose and palate, white peach, lemon zest, pear, Granny Smith apple and citrus blossoms. The oak influence creates a nice mid-palate, the wine shows a balanced acidity that carries through in the long finish.
