Note di degustazione
Lastly, the 2017 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict comes from a Grand Cru site in the Sta. Rita Hills and spent 15 months in 15% new French oak. More classic apple and caramelized stone fruits, white flowers, crushed rocks, and spice emerge from this beauty and it's supple, layered, and balanced on the palate, with both richness and freshness. It's already drinking beautifully but has the balance and class to keep for 8-10 years, if not longer, in cool cellars.

The 2017 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is not giving up much today, as it is a ball of tightly wound energy. Even so, there is plenty of depth to the orchard fruit and floral notes that develop in the glass. Chanin's 2017, from the original 1971/1972 plantings is distinctly phenolic at this stage. There is as lot here, but the 2017 is a wine for the future.
From vines planted in the early 1970s, the 2017 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard has a youthfully restrained nose, slowly opening to toasted hazelnut, gunflint and stone with ripe white peach, red apple skin, citrus peel, pastry crust and baker's yeast hints. Light to medium-bodied with a silky, creamy texture, it has a great core of nuanced fruits with juicy acidity and a long, spicy, textured finish. 268 cases produced.
