This Chardonnay from The Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is another simply outstanding offering from Gavin Chanin. This instantly opens with beautiful aromas of lemon peel, crushed limestone, orange, fennel seed and spring flowers which all merge together in the glass. It demonstrates fantastic structure and balance, lead by flavors of crushed stone and citrus which continue to linger on the vibrant finish. Absolutely terrific right now but this will continue to blossom over the next year or two and should have lovely future over ahead. (Best 2017-2026) - May, 2016 (MD)
