Cameron Winery Dundee Hills Chardonnay Abbey Ridge 2023 CS20230828 chilled Gravenstein applesCameron blends fruit from Abbey Ridge and the estate vineyard Clos Electrique, where 40 to 50 year old vines planted to multiple Chardonnay clones deliver exceptional freshness and precision. The wine opens with pear, orange blossom, and lemon zest with a whisper of savory herbs, then reveals lightly creamy texture and energy on the palate.
