2019 Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay

"...Weightless and gracious, yet also full of flavor, the S&B Chardonnay is all class, all the way. Richness and depth are amplified...The 2019 is positively stellar. Citrus, floral and saline notes abound, but more than anything else, the S&B is a wine to admire for its textural subtleties and overall class." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "Tightly woven aromas of Meyer lemon peel, a hint of hard nectarine and the lightest brush of butter show on the nose of this bottling from the first spot to plant Chardonnay in the region. There’s a great grip to the sip, where fresh citrus and stone-fruit flavors are wrapped in racy acidity and hints of stone and toast." ~ Wine Enthusiast "...terrific, offering lots of salinity and crushed rock-like minerality as well as medium body, a bright, focused spine of acidity, good concentration, and notes of stone fruits, toast, and spice. It certainly offers pleasure today...and should keep for 5-7 years or more. It’s incredibly well made." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "Sanford & Benedict through the sumptuous lens of Fess-Parker style, this gives a rich and caramelly first impression, only to broaden into a fine, caramelized pear flavor, the richness streamlined, focused and delicious." ~ Wine & Spirits "Hints of marmalade accent the ripe white fruit and ripe citrus flavors that feature a viscous texture. Shows lemon drop and spice notes on the snappy finish. Drink now through 2024." ~ Wine Spectator
