Cambria Chardonnay Katherine's Vineyard 2005

Santa Maria Valley, Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, United StatesNamed for proprietor Barbara Banke's eldest daughter, Cambria Katherine's Vineyard is both vineyard designated and estate-grown on the famed Santa Maria Bench in Northern Santa Barbara County. The nose is an attractive mix of honey and baked apple fruits with a streak of lees and bits of spice melon and cinnamon. The entry is round and rich but with good acidity and crisp pear fruit and creamy lees finish. Very sophisticated California chardonnay with a touch of butter and alcohol in the finish. Drink or hold a year or two. Great with spaghetti alle vongole.Tasted: 21 March 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
