SANDHI Chardonnay, Bentrock Vineyard 2014


2016 TOP 100 WINES | Rank #33


The 2014 Bentrock Chardonnay is another tremendous showing from Sandhi in this vintage. This is an absolutely radiant Chardonnay with vivid aromas of gun smoke and flinty minerals come together with lemon zest and white florals. On the palate this is laser focused and precise with brilliant acidity providing remarkable intensity all the way through the finish. At this stage, the Bentrock only begins to show its hints of it true potential after several hours of air contact. Overall, this is a magnificent wine, which will be best with some additional bottle age will and will continue to drink beautifully for many years to come. Year after year the Bentrock Vineyard Chardonnay from Sandhi has proven itself to be consistently one of most compelling Chardonnay’s we taste. (Best 2019-2029) - May, 2016 (JD)
