The story behind Ca Cali
Ca Cali Chardonnay comes out of California, made by American Vintners, a wine group based in Monterey County. The fruit is pulled from family-owned vineyards across several California grape-growing valleys, which is how a wine at this price keeps a steady house style from vintage to vintage. It is 100 percent Chardonnay, medium-bodied, with subtle oak aging that brings crisp apple, citrus and a creamy texture with a hint of vanilla.
We have poured this kind of California white across the counter for three decades, and the appeal has not changed: bright fruit, moderate acidity, no drama. No gold medals to brag about here, and we will not invent any. It is a reliable everyday table wine, and that is the whole job.
