Sanford & Benedict Chardonnay

Very nice style. Thanks Tim Edwards for bringing to a disappointing LSU loss ☹️

This was really good. Thought it resembled a Puligny-Montrachet. Good cut and fruit and more tension driven than rich.

Great! Beautiful reduction. Singing. Bright acid and freshness.

Quite lively and fresh. Burst of acidity, citrus notes, some spiciness on the finish.

Trite to say for Sandhi but damn is this balanced. Showed best after an hour of air and at 60ish degrees.

I think it's hard to find a Chardonnay like this in the world so I stashed a bottle. It has the butterscotch fermentation element on the nose that says "California" which I love in steady doses. And it has the live, cold and ripe citrus acid element and that I find in Chablis. On top of that it's not very buttery, it has subtle minerality, stroke of vanilla.. there's a chance you drink this wine at the right day and time and can think it's a perfect 10 Chardonnay isn't in my wheelhouse of loves but this is an exception. For me tonight it's just missing... Peaches🍑

Rich and generous oak, but not overpowering. Good balance.
