Cambria 1997 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- $20
Another blockbuster from this Santa Barbara County winery. Rich, fruity and complex, with all the bells and whistles you could ask for. Shows why Santa Barbara has emerged as perhaps the leading Chardonnay region in California.

Cambria 2009 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
They packed a lot of flavor into this rich Chardonnay for the price. It’s toasty buttery and popcorny from winemaker treatment, with ripe fruit notes of pineapples and exotic tropical fruits. A brisk streak of minerals and acidity provides clean balance.

Cambria 2010 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $22
So elegant and sophisticated, this is a great value in California Chardonnay. Although it’s dry, it’s rich and delicious in pineapples, pears, mangoes and honey, with an opulent overlay of sweet oak. The brisk acidity is balanced, and gets the mouth watering.

Cambria 2006 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
This is a big, fat, unctuous Chardonnay marked by exceptional ripeness and smoky oak. Yet it never loses sight of balance. It’s powerful in candied or pie-filling pineapple jam, Mandarin orange zest, apricot brûlée and vanilla custard flavors that are completely dry and accented with crisp acidity. This is an amazing price for a wine of this quality. Sommeliers…

Cambria 2008 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- $22
Shows lots of flamboyant pineapple, pear and green apple flavors, with a deft touch of smoky oak. But the wine is uplifted by a firm, steely minerality, as well as fine acids. It finishes a little sweet. Drink now.

Cambria 2004 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- $16
This cool-climate wine needs a warm vintage to show its best, and it certainly got heat in 2004. The result is a big, opulent wine with masses of tropical fruit flavors slathered in spicy oak. Yet it retains crisp, citrusy acidity, and has an elegant streak of minerality.

Cambria 2007 Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay (Santa Maria Valley)
- $19
Rich and extracted, with pineapple tart filling, butterscotch, caramel and smoky flavors. Feels a bit soft, and the oak sticks out.
