To surmise the potential of a young vineyard site and then, vintage after vintage, confirm those suspicions is as gratifying an experience a winemaker can have. The 2015 Bentrock Chardonnay greets you with an exotic, lifted and focused nose, brimming with raw ginger, crushed rock, and smoke. As we’ve all come to expect, the palate is tightly wound in its youth, focused, and direct with loads of acidity. This is the bottle to cellar for quite some time.Pairing Suggestion:

As part of the “Four Corners” of the appellation, this north-facing block is at an elevation of 250 to 500 feet and is blasted daily by cold ocean winds. From the upper reaches of Bentrock, one can see the other Sandhi vineyard sites to the east. While only a nine year-old vineyard, Bentrock shows incredible potential, delivering intensely concentrated and sublime fruit. We believe that Bentrock’s unique location, close proximity to the ocean and exposed orientation creates a perfect environment for producing low-yielding grapes of high quality.Pairing Suggestion:

In 2013, when we bottled this wine I thought to myself, this wine would be better in 5-10 years. We had never seen so much acidity with high ripeness. That is why we decided to hold back a third of the production and release it when it was 6 years old. We believe this wine has a longer ageing potential but it’s good point to start drinking now!Pairing Suggestion:

We are continuously reminded of the wisdom of old vines every time we bottle another vintage from the 1971 plantings at Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Slightly less susceptible to vintage variation than our other sites, the 2015 vintage is classic in its ability to join the bright, lifted notes of citrus with warmer, rounder aromas of apple and spice. The palate demonstrates a combination of purity and generosity only achievable through vines of an advanced age.Pairing Suggestion:
