Description

Camelot Highlands is special place, one that Winemaster Randy Ullom refers to as "the filet mignon" of vineyards. Grown above the fog-driven Santa Maria Bench in Santa Barbara County, this Chardonnay comes from ancient vines growing in seabed soils. The result is a complex wine bursting with flavors of pineapple, mango and papaya with a creamy, lush, rich palate, finishing with lingering notes of vanilla and crème brûlée.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
Ripe white peach and honeysuckle aromas meet buttered nuts on the classic nose of this bottling. The palate is rich and lush yet cut with baked lemon flavors, as a nutty tone hangs through the finish.
