The 2015 Bentrock Vineyard Chardonnay is a simply gorgeous release. Sandhi’s Bentrock Chardonnay has developed the reputation as one of the most compelling wines in the Sta. Rita Hills and there is no exception in this vintage, as it displays striking purity and precision. As this begins to open it releases vivid aromatics of Meyer lemon zest, white flowers and hints of orchard fruits layered with crushed stones sitting alongside smoky undertones. This truly remarkable Chardonnay possesses layers of delicious flavors, which are built around an intense mineral-laced core, followed by a burst of bright acidity keeping it fresh and vibrant through the finish. While this is already impressive, it also shows the potential to continue to evolve and develop even more complexity over the next decade and beyond. (Best 2019-2032) - June 2017 (MD)
