Sandhi Bent Rock Chardonnay 2011

From north-facing, pure shale soils and easily the richest of the lineup, the 2011 Chardonnay Bent Rock is a knockout effort that will stand up there with the best whites coming out of California today. Offering up notions of white peach, hints of honey, lime peel and oyster shell, this beauty flows onto the palate with medium-bodied richness, a mouth-filling texture and racy acidity. Despite being the richest of the lineup, it's still made in a classically lean, focused style that relies on finesse and elegance over power. I'd recommend drinking it over the coming 4-5 years, although it will most likely last longer. Drink now-2018. Score - 94. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013)
