The old chardonnay vines are planted on a gently north leaning knoll and in close proximity to the Pacific. The combination of old vines, cool ocean air, fog, and marine soil create a wine of complexity unrivaled in the Santa Rita Hills.

The 2018 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is aromatically nuanced, with singular floral tones, white peaches, honey and toast aromas that continually change as it airs in the glass. The palate begins tangy and saline, with soft citrus and meringue emerging as it glides through the mouth, and the long finish is driven by refreshing acidity that calls you in for another sip. - 96 - Erin Brooks - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
