Sandhi Sta. Rita Hills Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
United States, California
R1,850
‘Apricot, pineapple, tart-tatin and candied-apple aromas. Full and fine tannins. Bright acidity and a tangy finish with pie crust and salted caramel. Drink or hold.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 95/100
‘Lovely aromas of white flower and stone fruit are set against a crushed stone minerality on the compelling nose of this bottling. Bright lemon and riper apple flavors meet with a similarly stony element on the tightly textured palate.’ – Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100
‘The 2021 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is scented of white peach, roasted almonds, fresh bread and beeswax with savory undertones. The light-bodied palate is silky and bright with gregarious orchard fruit and a long, nuanced finish. 2024-2034’ – Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, 93/100
‘This has terrific intensity to the bright, citrusy notes of yuzu, preserved lemon and lime zest on a sleek, juicy mouthwatering frame. Shows an appealing savory note of saline, toasted herbs and wet stone, with aromatic details of makrut lime leaf and fresh ginger lingering on the finish. Drink now.’ – MaryAnn Worobiec, Wine Spectator, 93/100
‘The 2021 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict is ethereal, gracious and light on its feet. This is an especially airy, perfumed style of S&B Chardonnay with notable aromatic inclusion and perhaps a bit less mid-palate presence. Light tropical accents lend an exotic flair. 2024-2031’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 92/100
