The 2015 Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay is another fantastic showing. Sourced from the oldest parcels of the vineyard, with soils composed of Botella clay loam layered with chert and shale which allow for excellent drainage. The end result is a gorgeous Chardonnay, displaying vivid aromas of fresh floral blossom, crushed stone, and fennel seed along with hints of lemon peel and tropical fruits. On the palate this possesses tremendous depth and balance with a lovely combination of bright acidity and minerality as it remains beautifully focused through the finish.
