Sandhi Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay 2012

Also from the Sta. Rita Hills, and from a vineyard that continues to impress, the 2012 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is one of the few 2012s that will benefit from short-term cellaring. Offering classic pear, apple blossom, chamomile and a distinct salty minerality, this beauty has medium-bodied richness, solid mid-palate depth and bright acidity. It should be at its best from 2015-2019. Score - 93. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2014)
