Sanford & Benedict is one of the most historic vineyards in Southern California. Planted in 1971 to mostly Pinot Noir and 50 acres of Chardonnay. This site is one of the crown jewels within the Santa Rita Hills AVA. The fruit was pressed and fermented in stainless steel tank using indigenous yeasts then transferred to neutral barrel for malolactic fermentation.

The 2021 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is gorgeous, but it is also very tightly wound. In a sense, it is a wine that reflects more the Arnot-Roberts style than a true expression of place. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and light tropical notes meld into the creamy, expressive finish. Time brings out additional layers of dimension. As good as this is, and it is very good, I would like to see more of S&B character.
