Tasting notes
The 2022 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is true to this site's composed elegance and nuance, showing a mélange of orchard fruits, bright baking spices and citrus blossoms. The palate is generous yet measured, with a faintly enveloping texture that seamlessly unwinds into a beautiful, refined finish, highlighting the vineyard's river rock stoniness. While not the most flashy or intense iteration of this historic site, its classiness fits right into the Sandhi roster.

The 2022 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is one of the more tightly wound, reticent wines in the range. It offers plenty of energy. Citrus peel, white pepper, mint and crushed rocks are all finely delineated. I admire the wine's energy, but at the same time, I feel picking a touch riper would allow more site character to show.
