Clean and mineral-driven aromas of chalk, crushed rock and bright citrus make for an excellent nose on this classic bottling from a classic vineyard. The palate offers honeydew and honeysuckle flavors, but it's the chalky texture that's most compelling, carrying through into an almond and coconut finish

The 2021 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Historic Vineyards Collection is fragrant and alluring, with tones of matchstick giving way to perfumed quince, beeswax and cashew. The palate is bursting with perfumed fruit, its expansive layers streaked with flint and honey. It has a vibrant acidity, a silky texture and a long, layered finish.
