The 2019 Barden Chardonnay from the historic Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is a compelling expression of Santa Rita Hills terroir, blending Old World restraint with California depth. Sourced from one of the region’s most revered cool-climate vineyards, this wine reflects a Burgundian sensibility—emphasizing balance, texture, and age-worthiness over overt ripeness. Aged sur lie in French oak (with a portion of new barrels), it delivers layered complexity, integrating ripe orchard fruit, refined oak, and vibrant acidity. The result is a sophisticated, cellar-worthy Chardonnay that speaks clearly of place, precision, and pedigree.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Bright golden straw with subtle green highlights.

Nose: Elegant and expressive, offering aromas of ripe apple and pear, yellow citrus, and lemon blossom, layered with honeysuckle, toasted nuts, vanilla, and gentle oak toast. Nuances of butterscotch, honey, and a faint smoky mineral note add depth and intrigue.

Palate: Broad and creamy yet focused, with flavors of lemon curd, Asian pear, ripe apple, and white tropical fruits. Buttery brioche and subtle vanilla are balanced by chalky minerality and savory oak, creating a textured, expansive mid-palate without heaviness.

Body: Full-bodied and creamy, yet energetic and tightly wound.

Acidity: Crisp, bright, and well-integrated, providing lift and freshness that counterbalances the wine’s richness.

Tannins: Smooth and refined, with a gentle mineral and earthy grip.

Finish: Long, concentrated, and resonant, leaving impressions of citrus zest, toasted oak, and lingering minerality.
