El Camino Vineyard Chardonnay
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
We agree with AG on this one. Lovely wine, soft, round and plush. Featuring lots of nutty notes, apricot and lanolin on the mid-palate. This is an easy quaffer. For house gatherings, it’s a huge buy. Perfect paring with sushi 🍣

The 2015 Chardonnay El Camino Vineyard is striking. Lemon confit, orange peel and tropically leaning flavors make a strong opening statement. Broad and ample on the palate, with plenty of supporting acids, the El Camino is a wonderfully complete wine, not to mention a terrific value. Drink it over the next handful of years.

Pleasantly surprised by the complexity. First impression is a big buttery California Chardonnay, but that fades quickly into a rich, complex, more fruit forward but well balanced wine. Very happy with this find.

Fruity and no too oaky. A nicely balance Chard.

Yeah, this is pretty darn good, especially for the price. Nice minerals.

Pretty tropical in nature. Lemon and pineapple. Mild in oak with pronounced vanilla. Very ripe and sun kissed.
