Estates Collection Camelot Highlands

Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay

The Kendall Jackson Estates Collection Camelot Highlands Chardonnay from Santa Maria Valley exemplifies the quintessential characteristics of this revered varietal. Blessed with Santa Maria Valley’s unique microclimate, this Chardonnay showcases an opulent and full-bodied profile, underscored by a bright, lively acidity that invigorates the palate. Aromas of luscious stonefruit, ripe pear, and subtle notes of toasty oak greet you with each swirl of the glass. These aromas gracefully transition into flavors of juicy peach, crisp green apple, and a hint of vanilla, creating a harmonious symphony on the palate. The wine’s finish is lingering and mouthwatering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a range of food-friendly dishes, this Gold Medal-winning Chardonnay is a testament to the exceptional terroir of the Santa Maria Valley.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
