November 23, 2023 - Drinking wonderfully. Wow. The cork was at the end of its life so I am glad I opened it now. Paired with risotto made with chicken broth and roasted walnuts.
January 31, 2019 - Last bottle. 13.2 ABV. Abbey Ridge chard is one of my favorite domestic chards. Loads of pineapple. Creamy/slightly oily finish. Paired perfect with our homemade chicken noodle soup.
January 6, 2016 - Wow. So incredibly complex and layered. Finish goes on forever. Layers of tart lemon curd, tropical notes,nut notes, honey. Geez. This is so damn delicious.
December 12, 2014 - Notes from day 1, bottle open for 2 hours.
Pale gold in color.
Nose of apple core, lemon, cream, minerals.
Palate of pineapple, minerals, lemon, herb and cream.
The finish was above average in length with a nice mouthfeel.
Overall the wine was fantastic as always, a great start to a great wine weekend.
Drink or hold: 50+5+12+18+7

October 5, 2014 - Outstanding. Better than previous bottles. Worth checking in on.
July 15, 2014 - Another stunning chardonnay from cameron. Really expressive of place. Tightly wound, yet rich and deep, with perfect orchard fruit and honeysuckle over taught meyer lemon and innumerable floral/herb complexities. Wonderfully long, precise finish. Drinking well now, but will become truly special with some additional time on its side.
October 21, 2013 - This bottle was very tightly wound, with laser acidity. Drank well with food, but ideally I'd hold for 3-4 more years.
July 2, 2013 - As another taster noted, at first this seemed a bit oxidative. However, with a bit of air this dissipated and some great minerality and acidity came through and this was really nice. Drink or hold.
October 19, 2012 - Excellent chardonnay. Dense, but balanced and driven by an acid/mineral/oak? spine that lingers on and on.
October 16, 2012 - Similar to last bottle. Like all Cameron Chards, this is delicious and a joy to consume. Better on night two. Drink or hold.
