The Grace Benoist Ranch is located in the northwest corner of Carneros and is set on well-drained, rocky soils. A host of Chardonnay clones are planted in the vineyard. This wine starts with toasted hazelnut, brioche and creme brûlée aromas. The minerality of this wine is outstanding, as the wine has a creamy texture and lithe mouthfeel, delivering butterscotch, green apple and cantaloupe flavors. (Best 2017-2024) - July, 2017 (OB)
