CAMBRIA ESTATE WINERY, SANTA MARIA VALLEY OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY

2019 KATHERINE’S VINEYARD CHARDONNAY

Katherine’s Vineyard Chardonnay is an ocean inf luenced, single vineyard expression of “refrigerated sunshine” in a glass – layered, elegant, distinct.

WINEMAKER NOTES

“Fresh fruit and ­oral 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 ‑nish.” – Jill Russell, Winemaker
